Description
Frank Stella’s Pergusa Three (1983), from the Circuits series, embodies the artist’s dynamic synthesis of geometry, movement, and color. Created through an ambitious combination of woodcut, relief, and hand-coloring on handmade paper, the work demonstrates Stella’s continual exploration of printmaking as both a technical and sculptural process.
The composition’s layered forms and vibrant hues evoke the energy of racing circuits—an inspiration behind the series—while also extending Stella’s lifelong fascination with structure and rhythm. Each contour and intersection pulses with spatial tension, transforming the flat plane of the print into a vibrant topography of color and form.
As one of the major works from the Circuits cycle, Pergusa Three reflects Stella’s mature mastery of abstraction and his innovative approach to materiality, solidifying his place among the most influential American artists of the late 20th century.
