Ellsworth Kelly's Matrix and Self-Portrait Drawings at Matthew Marks

Matthew Marks Gallery presents two concurrent exhibitions of Ellsworth Kelly's work. 'Ellsworth Kelly: Matrix' at 523 West 24th Street and 522 West 22nd Street showcases his cutouts and collages, exploring multifaceted definitions of the cutout form. 'Ellsworth Kelly: Self-Portrait Drawings 1944-1992' at 529 West 21st Street runs through June 28. The exhibitions coincide with the artist's 90th birthday celebration. A critic notes Kelly's ability to expose emotion and poise through subtly modulated, streamlined forms. The shows are part of a broader presentation that includes Frank Stella at Paul Kasmin Gallery and Suzan Frecon at Lawrence Markey Gallery, all on view through June 28. Additionally, a solo show in the project space ends October 14, and a group show runs through August 14. The New York Studio School hosts an exhibition from October 15 to November 22, 2003, featuring cutouts and collage. The Met displays Kelly's plant drawings, revisiting a show of prints on the same theme.
