Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artist’s working method. There is evidence of light handling along the edges, which have yellowed slightly with age, including minor diagonal creases in the lower right corner, faint spots of discoloration along the top edge towards the right. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat in each corner. Framed under Plexiglas.

"The color optics of the Concentric Squares and Mitered Maze Paintings is dizzyingly kaleidoscopic. Continuing the use of Benjamin Moore paint, and continuing to paint tightly masked stripes in a concentric manner, Albers' color interactions are amplified into high-intensity friction. Just as Stella had previously asked himself how much of a painting could be taken away and still have it be read as a painting, he now seemed to be asking how much color could be fitted into a pictorial structure." Michael Auping, "The Phenomenology of Frank: Materiality and Gesture Make Space," in Exh. Cat., New York, The Whitney Museum of American Art (and traveling), Frank Stella: A Retrospective, 2015, pp. 24-25
