The title refers to the *Black Star Line* shipping company, established in the early 20th Century by Marcus Garvey, founder of the *Universal Negro Improvement Association* (UNIA) and a leading campaigner of the Pan-African movement. \r\n\r\n*The Black Star Line* was originally conceived as a means for giving African-Americans the opportunity to return to Africa if they so wished, and was also important in trans-Atlantic commerce. The company possessed three steamships that sailed between the USA, the Caribbean, Central America and Africa, providing for this travel and trade. As an economically independent corporation, it stood as a symbol for black emancipation.

Stella is één van de belangrijkste schilders uit de minimal art, bekend om zijn monumentale doeken met eenvoudige vormen en vlakken.\r\nDe titel van het werk verwijst naar de rederij *Black Star Line*, opgericht door Marcus Garvey (1887 – 1940), stichter van de *Universal Negro Improvement Association* (UNIA) en een voorvechter van de pan-Afrikaanse beweging. \r\n\r\n*The Black Star Line* werd oorspronkelijk opgericht om Afro-Amerikanen die terug wilden keren naar Afrika een kans te geven. Daarnaast was de lijn belangrijk om handel te voeren in het Atlantische gebied. De rederij bezat drie stoomschepen die reizen en handel mogelijk maakten tussen de Verenigde Staten, de Caraïben, Centraal-Amerika en Afrika. De economisch onafhankelijke corporatie stond symbool voor de emancipatie van de zwarte bevolking. \r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1222,"name":"Kerry James Marshall","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
