Ellsworth Kelly — Untitled
Ellsworth Kelly

Untitled

A monumental inverted black chevron sculpture by minimalist master Ellsworth Kelly, photographed in a tropical garden setting in Miami. The geometric form demonstrates Kelly's signature exploration of pure shape and negative space. This large-scale work exemplifies his transition from two-dimensional painting to three-dimensional sculpture, maintaining his minimalist vocabulary while engaging with architectural space.

Medium
Painted aluminum or steel (large-scale sculpture)

Notes

In 1948 Ellsworth Kelly moved to France, where he crossed paths with artists Alexander Calder, John Cage, Jean Arp, and Constantin Brancusi. His style evolved from representational to abstract before he returned to New York to have his first exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1956. The rest is art history.
