exhibition_note:
In the posters reproducing The Counterpane and The Quarter-Deck, we see two of the Wave prints with which Frank Stella began his Moby-Dick series. In the posters reproducing The Sphynx and The Tail, we see Stella beginning to use wave, whale, and lattice shapes from his Wave prints in large, painted metallic reliefs mounted to the wall. In Enter Ahab: to Him, Stubb and The Chase-Third Day, interrelations between the underlying metallic shapes and their painted overlay become more complex. (Two of Stella's original Wave prints, The Hyena and The Whale as a Dish, are permanently installed in the lobby of the Greaves Concert Hall, whose entrance is visible through the window dividing this wall.)
