Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Frank Stella" in English language version.
I came across the images in Maria and Kazimierz Piechotka's book Wooden Synagogues (Arkady, 1959). The photographs and drawings from the book are part of the exhibition, as is a close-to-scale reconstruction of the roof and painted ceiling of a synagogue that once stood in the city of Gwoździec.
The dramatic, graph paper–themed CSL by Frank Stella was the second in BMW's Art Car series and was a crowd favorite when it competed in the 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The artist provided a number of factors involved in his selection of Die Fahne Hoch! With its title taken from the first line of the Horst Wessel song (Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!), the Nazi Party anthem, this march song was sung at public meetings and used as a musical background for the Nuremburg [sic] rallies of the 1930s. Stella said for him it recalled a waving flag, adding: "The thing that stuck in my mind was the Nazi newsreels—that big draped swastika—the big hanging flag—has pretty much those dimensions." Stella pointed out that the proportions of his canvas (10'1" x 6'1") are much the same as the large flags displayed by the Nazis.
