When did Frank Stella start making sculptures?

Frank Stella started making freestanding sculptures in the 1990s. In 1997, the artist oversaw the creation of the Stella Project, a 5,000-square-foot work inside the Moores Opera House at the University of Houston, and a large free-standing sculpture by Stella produced during this period stands outside the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. However, Stella's work began to move toward sculpture much earlier. Following a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1970, Stella began working in three dimensions, adding relief elements to paintings, which could almost be considered wall-mounted sculptures.
