Ellsworth Kelly — Orange
Ellsworth Kelly

Orange

A bold, flat field of vivid orange dominates this lithograph by Ellsworth Kelly, exemplifying his iconic commitment to pure color and simplified form. Printed on the fine, heavyweight Rives BFK paper with full margins preserved, the work invites contemplation of color as subject in itself. Kelly's reductive approach strips away all extraneous detail, allowing the luminous orange to assert its presence with quiet intensity.

Medium
Lithograph, on Rives BFK paper, with full margins.
