Ellsworth Kelly, godfather of the Hard Edge movement that essentially began as an intimate, intertwining, reaction against Abstract, is an artist much admired in the UK. Unfortunately, his talents are rarely shown on British soil. This coming month, fans are in luck, however, as the Serpentine presents 18 recent works, which Kelly has produced since 2002. Born in 1923, Kelly’s career is a remarkable and long-standing one. Covering some 50 years, he arguably launched his talents on the art world, following studies in Boston, during his time at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first solo show took place at the Galerie Arnaud, Paris, in 1951, while later, during the ‘70s, a retrospective was held at MOMA. Since, he’s exhibited at the Whitney, Tate and Haus der Kunst.
Ellsworth Kelly takes place at the Serpentine Gallery, from the 18th March - 21st May.
