"...part brinkmanship, engineering, and sometimes theater" (S. Engberg, 'Introduction,'Frank Stella at Tyler Graphics: Imaginary Places and the art of the Everyday, exh. cat., Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 1997, p. 9).
Part of the artist's Imaginary Places series, this striking combination form and color is the result of a long and fruitful relationship between Frank Stella and Tyler Graphics, one of the pre-eminent print American studios in the field of contemporary art. This unique work is the culmination of the increasingly deep relief of Stella's paintings that he began in the mid-1980s and that eventually gave way to full three-dimensionality, with sculptural forms derived from cones, pillars, French curves, waves, and colorful architectural elements. To help realize his ambition, Stella turned to master print-maker Kenneth Tyler and his Tyler Graphics studio based outside New York City. Tyler's expertise and innovative techniques helped to ensure that Stella was able to fulfill his vision of large three-dimensional works that challenged the static nature of traditional painting. Stella and Tyler formed a strong professional and personal friendship that has lasted over three decades, with Tyler using his expert knowledge to help Stella achieve these dramatic results. Examples of Tyler's work can be found in a number of important collections including the Tate Gallery in London and Australia's National Gallery of Art.
