DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe insightful, gorgeously illustrated first volume of the most important publication to date on Ellsworth Kelly’s work Written by Ellsworth Kelly scholar Yve-Alain Bois in direct collaboration with the artist, this comprehensive multivolume publication contains exhaustive documentation of each of Kelly's paintings, sculptures, and reliefs. The catalogue includes insightful texts and high-quality images of individual works and preparatory drawings, along with provenance information, exhibition history, and bibliographic information. Encompassing Kelly's work up to his return to the United States from France in 1954, the present volume covers the artist's formative years as a student at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and as a young artist living in Paris, where he began painting the abstract forms which would later define his career. Kelly’s remarkable pace of production during this early period resulted in an especially diverse oeuvre, which is discussed in depth throughout this publication. In Bois’s words, “This diversity is the main reason many of the works examined in this volume are discussed at such length and in such detail: In almost every case, the particular question the artist was addressing, and the formal solution he devised for it, was entirely novel to him.”

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHere, for the first time, is a collection of the artist Clare Rojas' abstract paintings, completed between 2012 and 2015. Known for her association with a generation of San Francisco artists that became internationally prominent through the exhibition "Beautiful Losers," much of Rojas' earlier work drew from various Russian and Eastern European folkloric subjects. While the figures have been removed from this newer body of work, it is not hard to see their lasting impact on Rojas' practice; these paintings are equally evocative of folk art, sign painting and the formalist reductions of artists like Alexander Calder, Matisse or Ellsworth Kelly. Accompanying these works is an essay by the curator and writer Jens Hoffmann.Clare Rojas (b. 1976) lives and works in San Francisco. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Everyone Has Those Spaces at Kavi Gupta, Chicago; Carved, Cast, Crumpled: Sculpture All Ways at the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago; Caerulea at Paule Anglim in San Francisco, Clare Rojas at Vladmir Restoin Roitfeld in New York; Clare Rojas at Galleri Nicolai Wallner in Copenhagen, and Pith at Prism in Los Angeles. Solo museum shows include the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco; Riverside Art Museum, CA; The Rose Art Museum, Boston; Museo De Arte Comtemporaneo De Castilla y Leon; Museum Het Domein, Sittard; Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita; Knoxville Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA comprehensive survey of rarely seen collages from the master of abstraction Over the course of more than 50 years, renowned American artist Ellsworth Kelly made approximately 400 postcard collages, some of which served as exploratory musings and others as studies for larger works in other mediums. They range from his first monochrome in 1949 through his last postcard collages of crashing ocean waves, 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. Many postcards illustrate specific places where he lived or visited, introducing biography and illuminating details that make these pieces unique among his broader artistic production. Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards is the most extensive publication of Kelly's lifelong practice of collaged postcards. Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) was born in Newburgh, New York. In 1948 he moved to France, where he came into contact with a wide range of classical and modern art. He returned to New York in 1954 and two years later had his first exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, organized his first retrospective in 1973. Subsequent exhibitions have been held at museums around the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Tate in London, Haus der Kunst in Munich and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
