 Ellsworth Kelly (American, 1923)
Follow this artist
Ellsworth Kelly is an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with Hard-edge painting, Color Field painting and the Minimalist school. His works demonstrate unassuming techniques emphasizing the simplicity of form found similar to the work of John McLaughlin and Kenneth Noland. Kelly often employs bright colors to enhance his works. Although Kelly may be better known for his paintings, he has also pursued sculpture throughout his career. In 1999, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art announced that it had bought 22 works, paintings, wall reliefs and sculptures by Kelly, valued at more than $20 million. Notable private collectors include, among others, Eli Broad and Gwyneth Paltrow.
