Summary:

In October and November of 1951, Ellsworth Kelly produced a series of eight large-scale collages.Each of the works consisted of papier gommette, sticky colored paper used by French schoolchildren, cut into squares and arranged by chance in a 40-inch-wide grid formation. These collages are key early works in Kelly’s career, showing his experiments with chance, his constructive use of color, and the evolution of his impersonal aesthetic.
