Frank
Stella, one of the world's leading artists working today, created his thirteen
Wave prints between 1985–89. Each is named for a different chapter of Herman
Melville's masterpiece "Moby-Dick". Stella's abstract style gives each of
these works a tantalizing, suggestive relation to the chapter for which it is
named. Stella's Waves series was originally released in groups of six (1988)
and seven (1989). Waves are multi-media prints, combining such diverse media as
silkscreen, lithography, linoleum block, hand-coloring, marbling, and collage.
They are abstract in style, vivid in color, and imposing in size.
Born in Malden, Massachusetts, Frank Stella
attended Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts (1950–54), where he began his
study of painting, and subsequently Princeton University (1954–58), where he
continued painting, and majored in history. He moved to New York City in 1958,
where he continues to live and work today.
