His constantly evolving works have been hailed as landmarks of the minimalist and post-painterly abstraction art movements

Frank Stella, a painter, sculptor and printmaker whose constantly evolving works are hailed as landmarks of the minimalist and post-painterly abstraction art movements, died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan. He was 87.

Gallery owner Jeffrey Deitch, who spoke with Stella’s family, confirmed his death to the Associated Press. Stella’s wife, Harriet McGurk, told the New York Times that he died of lymphoma.

    So nice if them to mention how important an artist he was, but then not show any of his works. Here’s a link to Artstation with a good deal his pieces. I always loved how he played with color in shapes. The way he designed them, to my eyes at least, gives them a shifting sort of movement.

      Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. How could they not show any in an article dedicated to his life and legacy?

      Thank you for providing a link to his art. I would like to think that he would prefer to be remembered by the link you provided rather than all the words used in the original story.
