ÖVRIGT:
Frank Stella created his thirteen Waves prints between 1988-89. Each is named for a different chapter of Herman Melville's masterpiece "Moby Dick". Stellas abstract style gives each of these works a tantalizing, suggestive relation to the chapter for which it is named. Stella's Waves series was originally released in a group of six (The Waves I - 1988) and seven (The Waves II - 1989). Waves are multi-media prints, combining such a diverse media as silkscreen, lithography, linoleum block, hand-coloring, marbling and collage. They are abstract in style, vivid in colour, and imposing in size. Over a period of twelve years - from 1985 to 1997 - Frank Stella produced a major series of works in various media that are linked to "Moby Dick". It is the artist's most extensive project and an epic achievement in the history of twentieth-century art. Stella made one or more works for each of the novel's 135 chapters, two non-narrative sections, and epilogue. The completed series consists of 266 works: over a hundred painted and unpainted metal reliefs, nine freestanding sculptures, an architectural mural, collages, and thirty-eight large-scale mixed media prints that are technically and expressively a stunning accomplishment in the history of modern prints.
