Imens i livet hos Frank Stella
Hele livet1970s
Introduces relief: “maximalist” painting
He brings relief into his work and calls such painting “maximalist” for its sculptural qualities; in the Eccentric Polygon series the shaped canvases take on still less regular forms and collage elements appear, such as pieces of canvas glued to plywood, and aluminum then becomes the main support of his paintings.
1970s
Moves to NoHo in Manhattan
In the 1970s he moves to the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan.
1978
Marries the pediatrician Harriet McGurk
Marries the pediatrician Harriet McGurk; they have two sons, Patrick and Peter. A daughter, Laura, was born to Stella between his two marriages, from a relationship with Shirley De Lemos Wyse.
1978–2005
A studio in the former auction house in the East Village
From 1978 to 2005 he owns the Van Tassell and Kearney Horse Auction Mart building in Manhattan's East Village and uses it as his studio; nearly thirty years of care lead to the restoration of the facade, and after a six-year campaign by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation the building is designated a New York City Landmark in 2012.
1980s
Takes up squash
Takes up squash after injuring his back opening a garage door; later has a court built at his horse farm in upstate New York and forms close friendships with many players. In 1986 he says squash lets him forget about painting.
