This weekend, legendary artist Frank Stella passed away at the age of 87. Stella was a “towering figure in postwar American art, a restless, relentless innovator whose explorations of color and form made him an outsize presence, endlessly discussed and constantly on exhibit,” reported the New York Times.
For Los Angelenos who want to see his work, there is an exhibition currently at the Skirball Cultural Center. The exhibition features twelve prints called “Frank Stella: Had Gadya,” wrote Buzz contributor Sheila Tepper in her most recent Backstage with the Buzz columns.
“Stella, a Catholic, was inspired by a series of lithographs by a Russian Jewish artist. The art of storytelling is what the theme of this exhibition leaves us with,” wrote Tepper.
