This is a look at an artist who understood the importance of being able to talk about his work. Watch and learn.
Ellsworth Kelly is widely regarded as one of the most important abstract painters, sculptors and printmakers working today. Kelly insists on the connection between abstraction and nature from which he extrapolates forms and colors. Since the beginning of his career, Kelly’s emphasis on pure form and color and his impulse to suppress gesture in favor of creating spatial unity have played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art in America.
A simple question. A simple answer.
It is really wonderful to see the audience so engaged.
Aeneas Wilder kicked down his Longside Gallery work Untitled #155 on Thursday 3 November. The sculpture was the first major UK installation by Aeneas Wilder, conceived especially for the Gallery. This has to be one of those most exciting de-intalls we have experienced even from afar.
Not such a quiet ending.
