These dynamic-shaped canvases from the early 1970s marked an important phase
in Stella's career, pointing the way to later works that were indistinguishable from
sculpture reliefs. An homage of sorts to early-20th-century Russian
Constructivism, these felt on wood pieces were titled after towns in Poland that
shared a certain infamy: They were once home to magnificent wooden synagogues
destroyed by the Nazis.
