Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum & Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA
10 July-28 November 2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards” is a comprehensive survey of postcard collages
by American artist Ellsworth Kelly. The exhibition marks the first time Kelly\u2019s lifelong practice of collaged postcards will be the focus of a major museum exhibition. The exhibition features 150 of these postcards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Kelly (1923\u20132015) is known for his abstract paintings, sculptures, and prints that are masterworks in the exploration of line, form, and color. Over the course of more than fifty years, the artist made approximately 400 postcard collages, some of which served as exploratory musings and others as studies for larger works in other media. They range from his first monochrome in 1949 through his last collages of crashing ocean waves, made in 2005. Together, these works show an unbounded space of creative freedom and provide an important insight into the way Kelly saw, experienced and translated the world in his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art historian Tricia Paik, a contributor to the forthcoming exhibition catalogue, has written that, while Kelly\u2019s postcard collages distance viewers from the mass-produced picture, they also reveal \u201cthe artist\u2019s lifelong approach to vision and his experience of the phenomenal world\u2014how he discovers specific shapes in natural and urban environments and translates them in painting, sculpture or relief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
