KellyExhibiton Hero

To mark the centennial of American artist Ellsworth Kelly (b. 1923, d. 2015), Glenstone presented Ellsworth Kelly at 100, a major survey of the artist’s work charting his career and contributions to American abstraction. Kelly frequently revisited shapes and motifs he observed from his own lived experience throughout his seven-decade career, exploring form, color, line, and space through painting, sculpture, collage, drawing, and photography. Works on view included early foundational paintings Painting for a White Wall, 1952, and Painting in Three Panels, 1956, as well as examples from the iconic Chatham and Spectrum series. Yellow Curve, 1990, a monumental floor painting installation that spans nearly 1,000 square feet was on view for the first time in the United States since it was first conceived for an exhibition at Portikus in Frankfurt, Germany.
