When my parents renovated their house in the 60s, their interior decorator, a personal friend of Stella's, commissioned two pieces for the project. But, when they were delivered, my parents didn't like them and didn't go through with the purchase. Later, when I graduated from college, Frank Stella was given an honorary degree at the same time, and it seems that everytime I go to an art museum with my parents, there is a Frank Stella installation. If I didn't know better, I would think that he has been stalking my parents in an effort to get them to reconsider their decision on his artwork. However, considering most of the standard, middle class kitsch in my home growing up, I doubt it was worthy of his art.

An uncanny resemblance to (the unmentioned heretofore) Heiner Müller.
Could've sworn it were Geoffrey Rush.
I thought it were Jean "Moebius" Giraud.
Funny, I had a Frank Stella portrait for A Is For Arbus...it will see the light of day some day.
