Description

This catalogue is a record of the Guggenheim Museum’s traveling exhibition of Ellsworth Kelly’s work. The design of this catalogue—the size, typography, and the reproduction of artwork—is meant to draw little attention to itself. Its sole purpose is to represent the artist and his work accurately and objectively.
