Study for Albany Mall [panel 2] 1968

"Study for Albany Mall [panel 2]" is a 1968 painting by Frank Stella, a major figure in Minimalism and Post-Painterly Abstraction. This study, like many of Stella's works, features bold, geometric shapes and a limited palette. The use of colored bands and arcs against a near-white background underscores the flatness of the canvas and reinforces the central principle of Minimalism. Stella's "black paintings" and his focus on geometric shapes are considered significant developments in the art historical dialogue.
