Frank Stella Retrospective at the WHITNEY MUSEUM

James Kalm faced a drizzling down pour, and slippery streets to make a beeline from his Redhook Brooklyn studio, to the new Whitney Museum. With this program, he brings his worldwide viewership along for a peripatetic discussion and glance of "Frank Stella, a Retrospective". This is the most extensive exhibition of Stella's oeuvre to date, and includes works from the 1950s to the 2010s. We'll follow the aesthetic trajectory of the artist's various phases from his ground breaking "black stripe" paintings to his current production that exists somewhere between what painting could be and architectural sculptural concepts. This presentation might help answer why Frank Stella is considered perhaps the greatest living American Abstractionist. This program was recorded October 28, 2015.
