Ellsworth KellyVereinigte Staaten, 1923–2015This painting comprises two black and white panels joined in relief. Made in the final decade of Ellsworth Kelly’s life, Black Diagonal Relief (2006) distills the artist’s career-long commitment to creating stark abstract compositions that are animated by the nuances of form, perception, and space. These interests come to the fore when the bright palette for which Kelly is best-known is absent. Black Diagonal Relief represents Ellsworth Kelly’s ongoing exploration of black and white across mediums. Kelly could focus on the formal essence of a work, rooted in line, shape, and structure.
