Frank Stella Takht-i-Sulayman 1967

1972

This meticulously hand-painted miniature reproduction by Richard Pettibone replicates Frank Stella's large-scale geometric abstraction *Takht-i-Sulayman* from 1967, rendered in oil and graphite on a tiny canvas. Pettibone faithfully recreates Stella's interlocking concentric shapes and muted earth tones, collapsing the monumental into the intimate. The work is housed in an artist's frame, further emphasizing Pettibone's signature practice of appropriating and recontextualizing iconic works of modern art.
