🕊️ In Memoriam: Frank Stella (1936–2024) 🕊️

The art world mourns the loss of a true legend today as we bid farewell to the visionary painter, Frank Stella. 🎨 His groundbreaking contributions to abstract expressionism reshaped the landscape of contemporary art, leaving an indelible mark on generations to come.

As we reflect on his extraordinary life and artistic legacy, we’re reminded of his fearless exploration of shape, color, and form. Stella’s daring spirit challenged conventions and inspired countless artists worldwide.

In this moment of remembrance, we’re honored to share a piece of Stella’s brilliance available at New River Fine Art.

“Then Came Death and Took the Butcher,” a captivating shaped print from his series inspired by El Lissitzsky’s “Had Gadya” (1984), stands as a testament to his unparalleled creativity and innovation.

Let us celebrate Frank Stella’s remarkable journey and the profound impact he leaves behind. 🖤
