Ellsworth Kelly “Singular Forms 1966 – 2009”
Mnuchin Gallery
This event has ended.
Mnuchin Gallery presents Ellsworth Kelly: Singular Forms 1966 – 2009. In celebration of the artist’s ground-breaking innovation— the shaped canvas— the exhibition brings together works created from singular forms, in singular colors and in singular materials. Beginning with Yellow Piece (1966), the artist’s first singular form, the exhibition spans over forty years and includes related metal wall reliefs as well as one of the artist’s original totemic sculptures, Curve XI (1974).
One of the most influential artists of the post-war generation, Kelly is known for his pioneering use of color as form and for the powerful presence of his highly refined shapes. Bridging European Modernism, Color Field painting, and Minimalism, his deeply personal style has found a distinct timelessness. As he approaches his ninetieth birthday this spring, Mnuchin Gallery joins the art world in honoring his extraordinary contribution to the history of art.
