I’ve been thinking pretty much non-stop about the new Ellsworth Kelly print from Gemini G.E.L. (Blue, Gray, Green, Red<\/i>) I kind of liked what I saw in print (Artforum<\/i>, probably) before I went to Miami, but I was not expecting to see what I did at Gemini G.E.L. at ABMB. I find Kelly interesting, he is one of those artists that when you look back at say Picasso or Mattise – he goes Mattise (as do I). While possibly far too many go Picasso. It is an artwork that has just continued to resonate in my head and I am thinking of it constantly. <\/p>\n

It seems to be in the spirit of an earlier piece Painting for a White Wall<\/i>, 1952. I became aware of this artwork (Painting…<\/i>) in the recent Blinky Palermo catalog from that amazing retrospective in Germany last year.<\/p>\n

Blue, Gray, Green, Red<\/i> is a real egalitarian piece – all colors are the same size, chroma, etc. but the presence of the piece is just a knockout, when you think of doing so much with so little – this is a landmark.<\/p>\n

I’ve always liked Kelly, but I’ve never really been knocked out by him like this.<\/p>\n

Programming Note:<\/b> This is the last post of the year as I take time to enjoy the holidays. I hope you and your loved ones have a great holiday however you may choose to celebrate it.<\/p>\n
