“…he always comes back to his basic vocabulary: surface, scale, color, image. And he always gets it as simple as he can.”
—art dealer Matthew Marks speaking of Ellsworth Kelly in yesterday’s New York Times
Simplicity is a lot of work. It’s also worth it. I hope this week you’ll be able to exist at your very essence.

I love this. It reminds me of a quote I recently found that I had noted down from Chanel.
“My art has consisted in cutting off what others added.” -Chanel

Simple is hard for me since I’m a collector but I try real hard.
Enjoy your week Stacy!

I installed a number of Kelly pieces at U-Mass Amherst in 1975. He was not unknown or not selling as many articles have stated recently. He had a staff.
