Brightly colored and captivating, Frank Stella Bene come il sale (As Good as the Salt) speaks to Stella’s artistic inclination towards nonrepresentational painting. Figures exist within the same space but make no sense or have any relation, with the only aspect tying the composition together being the beautifully vibrant colors and textures. With the right amount of imagination a figure appears, but is it really a figure or our minds trying to make sense of it all?
Created in 1989, this color etching is hand-signed and dated by Frank Stella (Massachusetts, 1936 - New York, 2024) in pencil in the lower right of the image and is numbered from the edition of 50. Published by Tyler Graphics Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York, and bearing its blindstamp in the paper in the lower right corner of the sheet, this work was printed at the Tyler Graphics workshop.
