he Los Angeles County Museum of Art will host the retrospective "Frank Stella: Selections from the Permanent Collection", starting on May 5.
The exhibition features a selection of 10 works from the museum's permanent collection -- many of which have not been on public view in over 30 years. It presents Stella's career to date, highlighting his artistic output from the late 1950s to the present.
Organized in loose chronological order, "Frank Stella: Selections from the Permanent Collection" will present seminal examples of Stella's style, as "Getty Tomb" from his highly acclaimed "Black Paintings" series. Composed of parallel bands of flat black paint separated by thin line of unpainted canvas, this collection was a critical step in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Minimalism.

Other highlights of the retrospective include "Hiragla Variation I", from his brightly colored "Protractor" series, and "St. Michael's Counterguard", which illustrates Stella's investigations into geometry and space. In this artwork, sheets of cut metal project out from the picture plane -- further extending the concept of shaped canvas that he had begun exploring in the early 1960s.
"Frank Stella: Selections from the Permanent Collection" will be on show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from May 5 to September 2. Additional information about the exhibition are available on the museum's official website.
