Stella's career was launched at the Museum of Modern Art in 1959, when he was just twenty-three. Each artist from the past eighteen months, including Marden, Serra, and Samaras, had an undeniable impact on the New York art scene, setting them apart as unique figures in artistic expression.
Peter Halley described Frank Stella as 'acting out the role of modernist artist for a post-modern audience,' reflecting his journey from Minimalism to an aesthetic of excess and hyperbole, showcasing the evolution of artistic genres.
Marden's art, characterized by monochrome canvases, diverged from Minimalism through its romantic sensibility, an approach that Carl Andre implied was missing in Stella's more stripped-down compositions, thus highlighting the personality behind each artist's unique expression.
Richard Serra focused on the phenomenology of space, showing a keen interest in tectonics rather than merely the art object. This conceptual depth provided a contrasting view to the more conventional approaches of his contemporaries.
