The legendary artist Frank Stella keeps a Ferrari in his studio as a reminder that his art better measure up to his race car. He's a racing enthusiast and one of his favorite quotes is from Mario Andretti: "If everything's under control, you're not going fast enough." Stella sits down with Steve Paulson to talk about a lesser known aspect of his remarkable career — his work as a printmaker.
