In the life of Frank Stella
The whole life1970
Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art in New York presents a retrospective of Stella's work, making him the youngest artist to receive one.
1970
Boycott of the American Pavilion in Venice
Invited to the 35th Venice Biennale, Stella joins a boycott by artists opposed to the US wars in Vietnam and Cambodia and withdraws his works from display at the American Pavilion.
1970s
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.
