Frank Stella's "Six Mile Bottom" is a lithograph created in 1970 as part of his Aluminum Series. This piece exemplifies Stella's exploration of geometric abstraction and structured compositions. The artwork features a central, vertically oriented pattern of parallel lines forming an almost architectural shape, narrowing inward before expanding outward. Rendered in muted gray, the design contrasts sharply with the surrounding white space, emphasizing balance and precision. This linear arrangement creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye toward the small central rectangular point

This work reflects Stella's interest in minimalism and his exploration of spatial illusions within the constraints of geometric forms. His approach during this period marked a departure from expressive abstraction, focusing instead on the fundamentals of line, shape, and form
