Ellsworth Kelly

A pioneer of abstract art, Ellsworth Kelly will forever be remembered as one of the most distinctive and influential artists of the 20th century. Ellsworth Kelly is a stunning monograph of his diverse and prolific body of work, from his start in the 1940s all the way to his final projects before his death in 2015. The last text created in collaboration with Kelly, this book is illustrated with his color-soaked paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, postcards and prints, including his iconic and instantly recognizable monochromatic paintings. These images are accompanied by short essays from leading writers and critics, which illuminate his contributions to the art world, as well as interviews with the artist himself, photographs and sketches from his personal collection and reproductions of the artworks that inspired him. A beautiful tribute to the modernist master, it’s the perfect gift for art aficionados and minimalists alike.
