This final print of the Shards Series is a beautiful horizontal composition ruled by a green colour palette. The lines of pantograph and the textured green backdrop create a wonderful depth as they intersect, exuding a sense of three-dimensionality. In the Shards Series, Stella coalesces elements used in previous projects; Circuits series prints and paintings as well as his Polar Coordinates for Ronnie Peterson series. The use of 'shards' of previous works to create a series in its own right would become an increasingly employed technique for Stella, and here we can see why. There is a magnificent richness of texture and an immense depth in the prints, showcasing Stella's creative force.

Lithograph and screenprint in colours, 1982, on Arches paper, signed and dated in pencil, numbered from the edition of 100 (there were also 20 artist's proofs), published by Petersburg Press, New York, 100.9 x 115 cm. (39¾ x 45¼ in.)
