Ellsworth Kelly at 100

Part of the long-lasting legacy of the Qatar-USA 2021 Year of Culture, Ellsworth Kelly at 100 will include more than 60 works by the American artist. Marking the occasion of what would have been Kelly’s 100th birthday (in 2023), the exhibition at M7 in Doha is set to be the first major introduction of the artist's work to audiences from the MENASA region.

Organised by Glenstone Museum (Maryland, USA), the retrospective exhibition in Qatar will span Ellsworth Kelly’s (1923–2015) prolific career, from his early works as an up-and-coming artist in post-war Paris, to the artist's later years, when he was celebrated as an icon of Modern art.
