One of the foremost artists of our day, Ellsworth Kelly may be best known for his rigorous abstract paintings, but he has made figurative drawings throughout his career, creating an extraordinary body of work that now spans six decades.
There has never been a major museum exhibition dedicated exclusively to the plant drawings. The selection of approximately 80 drawings begins in 1948, during Kelly's early sojourn in Paris, and continues throughout his travels to his most recent work made in upstate New York.
