From the 1964 Derriere Le Miroir #149, one of five original lithographs that appeared in that issue, with original center crease and reverse text in English and French, "Red Yellow Blue", by the famous Color Field and Hard-Edge modern artist ELLSWORTH KELLY (1923-2015). This print published in November 1964 by Maeght Editeur is in superb original condition, the colors rich and not light-struck. Measurements are 15" by 21 1/2" (21" by 28" in its present silver metal framing). Not hand signed or numbered. Kelly of course is one of the famous American mid century artists, a contemporary of Robert Indiana, Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, John McLaughlin, and Kenneth Noland. The US Postal Service in 2019 issued stamps featuring his imagery. Kelly was one of the earliest openly gay artists; Robert Indiana was a partner. His work is considered to have pre-dated Minimalism and Pop Art. Original often impressively large paintings have sold as high as $8.5 million at major auctions. Allow for reflections in some images.
