Original Lithograph
51 x 66 cm
Framed in black with clear coated anti reflective glass and spacer

Collection is preferred for this work (from either our workshop in Birtley or our city centre gallery in Newcastle) because to post it we would need to reglaze the work in acrylic to ensure the glass doesn’t break on the way. This is possible, but this is the reason why the shipping cost is a little higher for this work.

This original lithograph was produced by Ellsworth Kelly for his 1954 exhibition at Gallery Maeght in Paris.

Ellsworth Kelly (1923 – D2015) was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with hard-edge painting, Color Field painting and minimalism. His works demonstrate unassuming techniques like emphasising line, color and form, similar to the work of John McLaughlin and Kenneth Noland.

Beginning in the late 1940s, he established himself through his drawings, paintings, sculptures, and prints as one of the most important artists of his era. His visual vocabulary was drawn from observation of the world around him — shapes and colors found in plants, architecture, shadows — and has been shaped by his interest in the spaces between places and objects, and between his work and its viewers: "In my work I don't want you to look at the surface; I want you to look at the form, the relationships."

Kelly (1923–2015) has been the subject of major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and his work is in many public collections, including those of the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, and Tate Modern, London.
