Summary:

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.
