Hello,

Your item is a Frank Stella original watercolor and ink on paper, depicting irregular polygonal shapes in a bold geometric composition. Frank Stella (b. 1936) is a key figure in American contemporary art, best known for his contributions to Minimalism and post-painterly abstraction. His works, particularly from the 1960s onward, emphasize form and color without representational elements, focusing instead on spatial relationships and architectural compositions. His works are highly sought after in both the modern art and auction markets, with his original paintings and prints commanding high values due to their historical significance and aesthetic appeal.

This particular piece, Sanbornville, is in excellent condition, as described. The dimensions of 13” x 17” (excluding matting) suggest it is a mid-sized work, likely created as part of a limited series or an individual study reflecting Stella’s interest in geometric abstraction. The vibrant use of color and angular forms align with his exploration of shaped canvases and sculptural paintings in later decades.
