I admire Frank Stella's discipline as an artist... He is very fine tune when it comes to detail and executional purpose...

Amazing retrospective, late works of Stella are my favourites

Thank you 🙏

[@scottgarrison9558]

Love this piece and the commentary. Traveled to NYC, from the provinces by Amtrak to see this, also Picasso. First time in 15 years. Stella has been a favorite of mine for decades. But I prefer the earlier stuff. The high-tech Baroque stuff was overwhelming.. maybe I was tired. On the same day, I saw Morandi at David Zwirner (sp?). For me, those small, exquisite piece blew Stella away. It was an enjoyable trip.

I loved this review of the show. I went to New York for one weekend just to see it.. Took closeup and angle shots with my camera and iPhone also. But loved your reviews and history attached to it. I spent all day at the show and was just in awe. Thanks for this.

[@craignunnallypurcell]

James Kalm - I think your reportage process is something new.

[@nonane2390]

James ur the best , thanks for all this

[@Robert.E.Edmondson]

Love the natural wood piece (22:06-22:53). Quite true, your comment that other artists could base an entire career on variations of this concept. Frank Stella though - so many ideas, so little time... a blessing and a curse. We are left wondering where he could have taken this - what permutations would have emerged had he not been so creatively restless, so eager to move on.

[@55Urdaddy]

thanks I love your insights. also love the street music and the initial out of breath intro.

[@deelot1]

[@samdempsey1757]

Thanks x

[@george4997]

Das Erdbeben in Chili is a german novella by Heinrich von Kleist, in case you were wondering

[@JohnRuggieriArtist]

Great coverage of an awesome show! I'd love to see a collapsing-of-gender group exhibition that challenges what is thought of as male or female art, energy, color and aesthetic a la Elizabeth Murray, Stella, et al. Break it. Down. Forever.

[@sandraheaton1084]

These works are amazing. Stella is about as far as you can get from a painter like Gerhard Richter, and also from the kind of discursive and conceptual art practices which today dominate the scene (at least the institutional scene). Whereas Richter is all about applying a consistent method (squeegee) to arrive at a kind of general effect, Stella's works are all highly differentiated and particular. It is the idiosyncratic and radically specific emphasis of his work which has put him up against the current scene. Richter's output is no less prodigious than Stella's, but the emphasis of his work is on seriality and sameness. There are differences within the serial works (the Cage painting for example), but the differences don't really matter much: the details in the work are an accidental outcome of the technique he uses to manufacture the work...a little red here, a little burst of yellow there...the particulars are interchangeable and entirely subservient to the allover effect of the whole. What really counts in Richter is abstraction and sameness. Stella, by comparison seems to throw absolutely everything in the pot, and then use every means at his disposal (drawing, painting, shaping, composing, manufacturing, thinking) to try and resolve all the different parts, all the different parts and moments of the work into a convincing whole. He always risks failure and chaos in a way that Richter never seems to. But the results are so much more interesting.

[@Senecart81]

Great commentary.

[@mofot-dac5303]

Wonderful

[@stevenikitas8170]

I refer to Frank Stella as "King Kong of the Lobby Painters"...

[@MiqueCapel]

Nice video. I suggest you check out Dan Flavin. One of my favorite artists.

[@PeterBethanis]

Stella fun to look at once but that's about it.

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super

[@vladnickul]

You should use manual white balance.

[@waynenothe2080]

Why does James always sound " out of breath " He is standing there almost motionless, yet sounds like he has climbed four flights of stairs.

[@boogieboxmusic4331]

Too rushed this one James, some beautiful work here and no stopping.. shame..

[@manuelbranco173]

frank was so overly influenced by the protractor and ruler - he will never amount to anything

[@douglasacosta4989]

Die Kameraführung schrecklich, der Krach und diese fürchbare Stimme...👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@jesusmovellan]

Algunas obras son espantosas.
