NOTES
Frank Stella’s Agua Caliente, reaching nearly seven feet from end to end, is a prime example of how printmaking after 1960 achieved great physical scale. Taking advantage of an elongated format, Stella presented bands of strong color separated by thin stripes in an oval shape. The bands circle back on themselves, creating a panoramic, oblong ellipse. Titled after a horse racing track in Tijuana, Mexico, the slick, uninterrupted rounds of color evoke a sense of speed.
