Behind the Scenes: The Making of Yellow Curve

- "It's like walking into a painting of Ellsworth Kelly's... Color almost becomes tangible in that room, and it's like he caught a bit of sunshine for us. He figured out how to fix a ray of sunshine and put it on the floor."-Emily Rales, Director and Co-Founder of Glenstone Museum
Prior to its realization at Glenstone, Ellsworth Kelly's Yellow Curve had been on public view only once before, in Germany in 1990. In keeping with the artist’s wishes, and with guidance from his longtime studio manager, Yellow Curve was built in situ this past spring by Glenstone associates for our exhibition Ellsworth Kelly at 100.

Awesome!!! Great job to the whole team! 💛💛💛
Fascinating video and also stellar exhibit of Kelly's art at Glenstone. I truly found a new appreciation for his work after seeing the exhibit.
The "Yellow Curve" kind of reminded me of the Roni Horn exhibit at GS in 2017 ago where the stunning pink block of glass was placed in the middle of the gallery by itself. There was nothing else displayed in the room to distract and the experience was almost kind of meditative and spiritual.
Looking at "Yellow Curve" reminded me of a beginners painting class I took many years ago when the instructor took a bright piece of orange pager and held it up to his face to demonstrate how color is reflected. I still can see his face bathed in orange. When you walk into the YC room see the radiating yellow reflection on the walls, to me it is very calming and beautiful. Indeed "a bit of sunshine".
On another note, I was amused at the yellow frosted cookies served at the GS café that were inspired by the YC painting. I bet Mr. Kelly never imagined his work would inspire to create a delectable pastry.
This piece was so moving. What they don't explain is that your perception of the yellow reflections change the longer you look. Soon the color is climbing up the wall to the ceiling and you become the art work as you watch your perception change in real time. This work really touches the perceptual territory of James Turrell or Robert Irwin to be honest. Not to be missed...
