Ellsworth Kelly's oeuvre can perhaps best be summed up by a phrase from Gottfried Boehm: "In between: this is the shortest formula of his aesthetics." With abstract expressionism at its peak, and based on the traditions of the abstract avant-garde in dialogue with color field painting, Kelly developed a vocabulary that left panel painting behind. In a conscious questioning of the conditions that underlie perception, he not only explores the relationships of painting and wall, sculpture and space, but also, and in particular, the relationship between viewer and work. A selection of more than 40 pieces of art from the past five decades, most of them from the collection of the artist, this book offers an expert investigation into the artistic development of one of the leading exponents of international postwar art.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Ellsworth Kelly is one of the leading exponents of international postwar art. With Abstract Expressionism at its peak and based on the traditions of the abstract avant-garde in a dialog with Color-Field Painting, the American artist developed a vocabulary that left traditional panel painting behind. In a conscious questioning of the conditions that underlie our perceptions, he not only explores the relationships of painting and wall, sculpture and space, but also, and in particular, the relationship between viewer and work. 'In between: this is the shortest formula of his aesthetics,' is how Gottfried Boehm, author of the main essay in this publication, summarizes the central topic of Kelly's oeuvre. With a selection of more than forty works, most of which are from the collection of the artist, this book is an expert investigation into Ellsworth Kelly's artistic development that spans five decades. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector. Seller Inventory # 327658
