Colors for a Large Wall by Ellsworth Kelly in the Museum of Modern Art, December 2007

Colors for a Large Wall by Ellsworth Kelly in the Museum of Modern Art, December 2007
Ellsworth Kelly. (American, born 1923). Colors for a Large Wall. 1951. Oil on canvas, sixty-four panels, 7' 10 1/2" x 7' 10 1/2" (240 x 240 cm). Gift of the artist.

Gallery label text
2006

Kelly arranged the sixty–four square panels of the grid in an arbitrary sequence, likening his method to the "the work of a bricklayer." Using squares of commercial colored paper left over from a previous series of collages, he first made a study for Colors for a Large Wall. Then he precisely matched the hues of the papers with oil paint, and arranged the final, full–size panels in strict adherence to the paper study.
