Lithograph with embossing on BFK Rives. Image: 29 h × 22 w in (74 × 56 cm). Sheet: 41 h × 34 w in (104 × 86 cm). Signed and numbered to lower right; with publisher's blindstamp and ink stamp. Printed and published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles. Literature: Axsom 116 | Gemini 672. Conques (from the Third Curve series) (1976) by Ellsworth Kelly is a refined lithograph with embossing, printed on BFK Rives paper. The composition presents a stark black rectangle whose lower edge curves subtly, introducing a gentle asymmetry within an otherwise minimal form. The contrast between the solid black and the untouched white paper heightens the formal clarity and optical balance. Characteristic of Kelly’s exploration of shape, space, and perception, this work plays with how a slight curve can transform the emotional and spatial reading of a geometric form. Printed as printer’s proof 2 outside the edition of 16, and published by Gemini G.E.L., this piece belongs to Kelly’s Third Curve series, where abstraction meets architectural elegance.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
