Mixed Media welded Stainless Steel and Bronze. Signed on reverse. The Decanter (1986) by Frank Stella is a dynamic mixed media sculpture composed of welded stainless steel and bronze, measuring 36 x 26 x 22.5 inches. Created in an edition of just three, this work exemplifies Stella’s evolution from painting into three-dimensional abstraction. The composition is a collision of geometric forms—discs, cones, fans, and curves—layered in space and contrasting in texture and finish. Polished and matte surfaces interact to create visual rhythm and depth, reflecting Stella’s interest in movement, industrial materials, and baroque complexity. Signed on the reverse, The Decanter stands as a sculptural manifestation of Stella’s post-painterly exploration of volume and form.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
