Ca. 45 x 48.5 x 37 cm (17.7 x 19 x 14.5 in).
A picture in F.J. Verspohl's publication from 2001 shows the work without the green net structure, which was presumably added by the artist at a later point, as the fact that he often revised his works suggests.

• Unique object from the Heinrich Kleist series.
• Color and form explode as Frank Stella conquers the third dimension with his wall sculptures.
• His works from the 1990s amaze with their complexity and the artist's vivid imagination.
