Ellsworth Kelly — Yellow/Black, from Series of Ten Lithographs
Ellsworth Kelly

Yellow/Black, from Series of Ten Lithographs

A bold composition of two contrasting fields of color, this lithograph presents vibrant yellow and stark black in a direct, uncompromising dialogue that exemplifies Kelly's mastery of hard-edge abstraction. Part of his celebrated *Series of Ten Lithographs*, the work distills form and color to their purest essentials, eliminating any trace of gestural mark-making or representation. Printed on Special Arjomari paper with full margins, the piece reflects Kelly's deep engagement with the expressive potential of color relationships and the precise interplay between positive and negative space.
