Ellsworth Kelly — Red Curve
Ellsworth Kelly

Red Curve

A bold, sweeping red curve commands the composition in this lithograph by Ellsworth Kelly, exemplifying his lifelong dedication to pure form and color. Printed on the fine, cream-toned BFK Rives paper, the singular arc appears both precise and organic, reduced to its most essential visual statement. The work reflects Kelly's mastery of hard-edge abstraction, where shape and color alone carry the full weight of meaning.
