Here's a work by him from our collection, "Kozangrodek II - 22," a multiple from 1975. The #KrannertArtMuseum has more on this "Polish Village" series of collages that Stella made in the early 1970s: https://kam.illinois.edu/collection-highlight/kozangrodek-iii

"Each work in the series is titled after a village in Poland and refers specifically to their synagogues, which were constructed between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and destroyed under Nazi occupation."

Frank Stella, Towering Artist and Master of Reinvention, Dies at 87

He moved American art away from Abstract Expressionism toward cool minimalism. His explorations of color and form were endlessly discussed and constantly on exhibit.
