- “In a sense, what I’ve tried to capture is the reality of flux, to keep art an open, incomplete situation, to get at the rapture of seeing.”-Ellsworth Kelly
On view at Glenstone until March 17, 2024, "Ellsworth Kelly at 100" presents an overview of the late American abstract painter, known for bold forms of color and shaped canvases. With over 95,000 visitors in 2023, the exhibition will soon travel to Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris where it will be on view May through September 2024. Next, it will travel to M7 in Doha, marking the first presentation of Kelly’s work in the Gulf region.

i'll be kicking myself for missing this for the rest of my life 😭😭😭
The video is so well-done, capturing the experience at the museum to see the art work.
I had the pleasure of seeing this exhibit twice.
For the indoor sculpture at 1:24 I joked to the docent this is one of the greatest balancing acts I’ve ever seen. Of course, I realized the piece is secured, but it was convincing enough to give the appearance it was standing on its own.
The works at 0:53 were precursors to pixelized computer-generated graphics and work at 0:46 I thought was very much a resemblance to a QR code.
Yes indeed, the photographs tremendously complimented Kelly’s paintings and sculptures with their shapes, patterns and shadows. The exhibit would not be complete without them.
Amongst my favorites were the teal/ultramarine blue painting at 1:47/4:03, the lovely, simplistic illustration of the corn stalk at 2:37 and the spectrum painting at 1:10 (I did purchase the exhibition poster). Of course, “Yellow Curve” was radiating warmth and quite impressive, the work itself and presentation (and of course, the cookie. 😉).
Thanks to Mr. and Ms. Rales, Curator Stone and the staff at Glenstone for making this splendid exhibit happen. Attendees just show up and enjoy it and often one does not realize the behind-the-scenes planning, logistics, labor, expense, etc. that goes into putting such an impressive exhibition together.
