The first exhibition devoted to Ellsworth Kelly’s photography opens today at Matthew Marks, featuring over forty gelatin silver prints of his photos taken between 1950 and 1982. Kelly finished preparing the exhibition shortly before his death last year.
“I’m not interested in the texture of the rock, or that it is a rock, but in the mass of it, and its shadow.”
The artist’s enthusiasm for the visible world and the compositional possibilities within it is clear.Unlike his sketches and collages, his photographs were never part of the process of making a painting or sculpture, but simply a record of his vision.
