His body of work, encompassing paintings, sculptures, and prints, illustrates his unprecedented experiments with form and colour. Less well known are his eight collages, known as \u003cem\u003eSpectrum Colors Arranged by Chance\u003c\/em\u003e (1951), which led directly to some of the artist’s most iconic early works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from papier \u003cem\u003egomette\u003c\/em\u003e, or sticky squares of coloured paper used by French schoolchildren, these collages represent Kelly’s early exploration of non-compositional strategies. Created by using chance operations to place the \u003cem\u003egomette\u003c\/em\u003e on grids, \u003cem\u003eSpectrum Colors Arranged by Chance\u003c\/em\u003e boldly anticipates the evolution of Kelly’s innovative methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside brilliant photographs that bring the reader into intimate contact with Kelly’s series of collages, a wide-ranging roundtable conversation with artist Jacqueline B. Humphries, art historian Hannah Higgins, and Kelly’s widower, the photographer Jack Shear, explores the origins of these groundbreaking works and their continued resonance today, bringing to life the story of his bold, experimental designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46790443630828,"sku":"9780300284058","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24838323482294.jpg?v=1756971287","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ellsworth-kelly-by-caitlin-haskell-9780300284058","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
