Stubb's Supper (S-1, 1X)
1986
Frank Stella's *Stubb's Supper (S-1, 1X)* is a dynamic and exuberant sculptural relief that combines acrylic paint with the industrial materials of stainless steel, carbon steel, and bronze, creating a vibrant interplay between color and metallic surface. Created in 1986 as part of his *Moby Dick* series, the work reflects Stella's bold departure from flat canvas into three-dimensional space, with sweeping, gestural forms that burst outward in an energetic, almost chaotic composition. The work exemplifies Stella's maximalist approach during this period, merging painting and sculpture into a single explosive visual experience.
