Ellsworth Kelly: Chatham Series

In celebration of Ellsworth Kelly's 90th birthday, many of the world's most important museums—including the National Gallery of Art, the Philadelphia Museum, the Pompidou Center and Tate Modern—are mounting exhibitions this year. Perhaps the most interesting is MoMA's Chatham Series, which reunites 14 works made in 1971, the year after Kelly left Manhattan for rural Chatham, NY. Each painting combines two monochromatic canvases in an inverted ell; the series has not been seen together since 1972, when they were exhibited at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. Featured image, of two 1971 studies (for "Chatham IX" and "Chatham XIII") is reproduced from Ellsworth Kelly: Chatham Series.
