frank stella the space junk years
"What does the new stuff look like? On more than one occasion, Stella's adventures in overwhelming three-dimensional forms thickly impastoed--is that even the right word?--with gobs upon gobs of electric acrylic paint have been likened to outer-space debris: the ruins of Cold War satellites, perhaps, or maybe unconventional-looking visitors from distant nebulae. After the manner of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we might assay this elaboration of the space-junk analogy: Captain Stella's fleet of ships was sucked into a wormhole, instantly transporting them through time and space to ... the Piezo Electric Gallery, East Village circa 1984."
