Sinjerli Variation IA

Frank Stella's Bethlehem's Hospital lithograph features black concentric rectangular lines forming geometric shapes, contrasting against a blank background.

Lithograph on Barcham Green paper - Signed, numbered and dated in pencil - From the Black Series I // Frank Stella's Bethlehem's Hospital (1967) is a lithograph from the Black Series I, characterized by its minimalist geometric design. The composition is dominated by rectangular, concentric black lines that create an optical, almost architectural depth. The precision of the lines forms a rhythmic pattern, reminiscent of a labyrinth or staircase, evoking a sense of movement within a static form. The lower portion of the piece mirrors the upper, establishing a strong balance between the two sections. Set against a vast blank background, the stark contrast between the dense black shapes and the empty space intensifies the artwork's sense of order and abstraction. Printed on Barcham Green paper, this work is signed, numbered, and dated in pencil by Stella. The piece is a hallmark of his exploration of shape, repetition, and the tension between form and void.

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
