Ellsworth Kelly
31.5.1923 Born in Newburgh, NY (US) Ellsworth Kelly has recently celebrated his 80th birthday. He is without question one of the most singular and influential American artists of the 20th century and he is still making art at the height of his powers. Kelly was born in Newburgh, New York in 1923 and came to international prominence in the 1950s with his unmistakable form of minimal abstraction. For 50 years his shaped and cut-out paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in the world's most prestigious museums and galleries with one man exhibitions that include the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1963), the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1973), the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Pompidou Centre, Paris (1979), the Saint Louis Art Museum (1982), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1987), and the Tate Gallery, London (1997).
