Honduras Lottery Co. name[s] a disreputable later nineteenth-century American lottery, which, when the United States Congress banned lotteries, moved its de jure headquarters to Honduras and illegally issued lottery tickets in the United States. - Richard Axsom and Leah Kolb p. 141
One of the most important living artists, Frank Stella is recognized as the most significant painter that transitioned from Abstract Expressionism to Minimalism. He believes that the painting should be the central object of interest rather than represenative of some subject outside of the work. Stella experimented with relief and created sculptural pieces with prominent properties of collage included. Rejecting the normalities of Minimalism, the artist transformed his style in a way that inspired those who had lost hope for the practice. Stella lives in Malden, Massachusetts and is based in New York and Rock Tavern, New York.
