Many of these drawings, in which one sees Kelly working out his abstract aesthetic, have never been exhibited before. Yve-Alain Bois, Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Professor of Modern Art at Harvard, is the curator of the exhibition and will author a fully-illustrated catalogue. A special section of the exhibition will be devoted to Line Form Color, a set of forty drawings and collages Kelly completed in 1951 for a projected book without words that was never realized. In conjunction with the exhibition, Kelly has completed the book. The slipcase edition will include an essay by Harry Cooper, associate curator of modern art and organizer of the exhibition at the Art Museums. Line Form Color will be on view in the Fogg's Straus Gallery and the remaining works in the exhibition will be on view in the Sackler's first floor exhibition gallery The exhibition is made possible with support from the Alexander S. Beal, Robert L. Beal, and Bruce A. Beal Exhibition Fund, the Douglas Cramer Foundation, Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro, the Gürel Student Exhibition Fund and Emily Rauh Pulitzer.
