“Ellsworth Kelly: shapes and colors”
From May 4 to September 9 at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Suzanne Pagé is the general curator, assisted by Emily Wei Rales, Nora Severson Crafitz, Yuri Stone, Olivier Michelon and Clotilde Monroe.
On the occasion of the celebration of the centenary of the birth of the artist, Ellsworth Kelly. Forms and Colors, 1949-2015 is the first exhibition in France to approach in such a broad manner the work of this essential creator of the second half of the 20th century, both in terms of its chronology and the techniques it brings together. Organized with the Glenstone Museum (Potomac, Maryland) and in collaboration with the Ellsworth Kelly Studio, the exhibition brings together more than a hundred pieces, paintings, sculptures, but also drawings, photographs and collages. The exhibition benefits from loans from international institutions (Art Institute of Chicago, Kröller-Müller Museum, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Tate, Whitney Museum) and private collections.
Ellsworth Kelly is considered one of the most important American abstract painters and sculptors. Spanning seven decades, his career is marked by the independence of his art from any school or artistic movement and by his innovative contribution to 20th century painting and sculpture.
The exhibition catalog is available from Fondation Louis Vuitton.
