Description: "Ellsworth Kelly in Dallas documents the extraordinary relationship between this American artist and the Dallas art community, which has resulted in a major concentration of Kelly's work in all media, including the imposing abstractions he completed for two buildings within blocks of each other: Edward Larrabee Barnes's Dallas Museum of Art (opened in 1984) and I. M. Pei's Meyerson Symphony Center (opened in 1989). Dallas's private collections and the Dallas Museum of Art's holdings collectively offer a refined overview of Kelly's career from a youthful 1947 self-portrait drawing to masterful single-panel paintings from the 1980s. Brought together with select loans relating to work in Dallas, the exhibition consists of approximately forty works, from study drawings to major paintings and sculpture, and has been devised by Kelly in consultation with the DMA's staff."--BOOK JACKET.
