Frank Stella’s Going Abroad (From The Waves Series), 1989 epitomizes his innovative approach to print making. Though the individual pieces of this image are flattened, their colors and presence create a sense of three-dimensionality. Each screenprint from The Waves series shares a title with a chapter of Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. “Going Abroad” refers to chapter twenty one in the novel, in which the ship, Pequod, is preparing to sail.
Screenprinted with lithograph collage and linocut in colours with hand-colouring and collage, on T. H. Saunders and Somerset papers, signed in pencil and dated '89, a printer’s proof, aside from the standard edition of 60 (there were also 10 artist’s proofs), published by Waddington Graphics, London.
