Limit your variables. Expressivity is weakness.

Ellsworth Kelly – Plant Drawings
June 5 – September 3, 2012
Accompanied by a publication
One of the foremost artists of our day, Ellsworth Kelly (American, b. 1923) may be best known for his rigorous abstract painting, but he has made figurative drawings throughout his career, creating an extraordinary body of work that now spans six decades. There has never been a major museum exhibition dedicated exclusively to the plant drawings. The selection of approximately eighty drawings begins in 1948 during Kelly’s early sojourn in Paris and continues throughout his travels to his most recent work made in upstate New York.

Am I seriously going to have to go to New York this summer? Also I need that catalogue like ten years ago.
