Ellsworth Kelly: Curator’s Talk

Friday November 15, 7 pm, 2024
Marvin Gelber Print & Drawing Study Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario

Join Carter Foster, in conversation with Stephan Jost, about the life and work of American painter, sculptor, and printmaker Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015), including Austin—the building envisioned by Kelly as a site for joy and contemplation. Austin is the only building the artist designed, despite Kelly’s lifelong interest in architecture and architectural form dating back to his earliest window studies made while living in Paris in the 1940s.   

Presented in conjunction with Moments in Modernism

Carter E. Foster is Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin. He previously held curatorial positions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He has written extensively on both the history of drawing and contemporary drawing practice, as well as on the work of Edward Hopper and Ellsworth Kelly. 

Stephan Jost is Michael and Sonja Koerner Director, and CEO, AGO, and co-curator of Moments in Modernism
