From the fascist lugubriousness of early striped paintings like "Die Fahne hoch" to the galvanic dance of fake-shadowed solids in the Cones and Pillars series of the '80s, from the decorative pastelly flatness of the late-'60s Protractors to the wave of polished aluminum, gray as sea fog, that swells across the wall of MOMA in a magnificent piece with the Melvillean title of Loomings, 1986, Stella wrings...
