He helped topple Abstract Expressionism, ushering in a new style and approach to art-making. His aesthetic encouraged Minimalism, Hard-edge abstraction, Op Art, and even Conceptual art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStella created the \"Eccentric Polygons\" series in 1974.  It is one of his last body of prints before he transitionned to the exuberant, Baroque-busy, elaborate style that defines his aesthetic to this day. Not surprisingly, these images were prominently featured in a 2016 retrospective at the Whitney Museum in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Polygon\" paintings were created during 1965-1967, each form was created in four different color combinations. Their curious names, this example is called \"Sunapee\", come from small towns and locations in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where Stella and his father would go fishing during his youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAesthetically, there is a subtle but significant difference between the canvases and the prints. Like many of Stella's multiples, there is a trompe-oeil effect; the sections of color appear to have been sketched in with a crayon yet bound in with a sharp outline. The canvases, on the other hand, had dense flat colors. Stella would intentionally use cheap tape on the paintings when sectioning the works so the color would bleed between the forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpressions of this print are held in the permanent collections of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/collection\/works\/5739\"\u003eWhitney\u003c\/a\u003e, New York; and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.gov\/artworks\/60619-sunapee\"\u003eNational Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e, Washington, DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:troy@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003evisit our Toronto Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sunapee\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Eccentric Polygons series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSA, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eColor lithograph and screenprint on Arches wove paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned, numbered \"43\/100\" and dated in pencil, lower right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an edition of 100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, with their blindstamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted by Jeff Wasserman and Serge Lozingot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e22.5\"H 17.25\"W (work)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30\"H 25\"W (framed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiterature:\u003cbr\u003e- 1966: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGemini G.E.L.
