In 1970 the Museum of Modern Art, New York presented a retrospective of Stella's work making him the youngest artist at the time to receive such a distinction.


The "Purple Series" is significant as, while it alludes to the success of his shaped canvases, the consistent use of the slightly muted grape-colored purple is unique and not repeated in his paintings.


This example, "Henry Garden" refers to Henry Geldzahler - the Assistant Curator in the Department of American Painting and Sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC) who was an important early champion and friend of the artist. 

(Today the Met holds over 90 examples of Frank Stella's work in their permanent collection)


Like most of Stella's prints from the late 1960's and 1970's - these too can be found in the permanent collection of many institutions including the MoMA and others
