This is the American artist’s first-ever retrospective in the Middle East.
Organised by Glenstone Museum in Maryland, US, the Doha presentation on view at M7 includes more than 70 works that span the entirety of Ellsworth Kelly’s career, ranging from his early days as a burgeoning artist in post-war Paris, through his final years as an icon of Modern art.
Ellsworth Kelly at 100 also features work from the seminal Chatham Series (1971), drawings and works on paper from the late 1940s to the early 2000s, and a selection of the artist’s lesser-known photographs (1950-1982).
The exhibition celebrates what would have been Kelly’s 100th birthday (in 2023) and introduces the MENASA region to the artist’s work, which has profoundly influenced modern and contemporary art, design and aesthetics.
Msheireb Downtown is in the heart of Doha, easily reached and navigated.
