If you’re going to NYC for Fashion Week swing by the new Ellsworth Kelly show at Matthew Marks Gallery. Ellsworth Kelly: Reliefs 2009 – 2010, an exhibition of thirteen new paintings and a new sculpture at 522 West 22nd Street opens next Friday February 11th from 6pm-8pm and will be up through April 16th, 2011. There will also be other pieces on show from the 87-year old artist at 523 West 24th St, and Ellsworth Kelly: Black and White Drawings at 526 West 22nd St. Most of the drawings were made between 1954 and 1959, shortly after Mr. Kelly returned to New York after living in Paris for six years.
Absolutely stunning piece!
