Description and Table of Contents

Description

An American artist of worldwide renown, Ellsworth Kelly has consistently returned to nature as a subject throughout his extraordinary career. Kelly began making prints in 1964; shortly thereafter he created his first suite of plant lithographs. To date he has produced 72 plant lithographs that fall into five major series: Suite of Plant Lithographs (1964-66); Leaves (1973-74); Twelve Leaves (1978); Series of Plant and Flower Lithographs (1983-85); Oak Leaves (1992); and several individual works. This comprehensive book serves as a beautiful portfolio of the plant lithographs accompanied by informative texts on all of these works as well as an insightful discussion of how they relate to the ink and pencil plant drawings that the artist has produced concurrently with the lithographs throughout his career. Exhibition schedule: Grand Rapids Art Museum, 4 March to 15 May 2005, Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, 12 June to 14 August 2005, Tate St. Ives, 27 January to 7 May 2006, The AXA Gallery, New York, 7 June to 14 August 2006, Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo, Seville, 21 September 2006 to 14 January 2007.
