There is an over all completeness and it is nice in the explosive unevenness of his work, to see the threads of a continuing developing idea.
It is wonderful for the Whitney to still mount such a full retrospective with Stella's want to reach all boundaries. He touches on us all. A feeling I liked.
I felt lost as his work drifted into the outsized sculpture.
It was some what a thrill back in the eighties knowing the reliefs were fabricated with aircraft aluminum. Somehow the technology was the right mix then.
The recent sculpture seems to exude this machinery and technology-- and it is impersonal-- something we have thought at times a plus-- but at this high end it becomes more and more, so what, another-- as it is still the ideas we look for what ever its fabrication.
It comes together here better than in recent gallery installations, just to bring it all to a satisfying close-- maybe he'll pull it off.
