Creueta del Coll 1987

"Creueta del Coll", a 1987 work by Ellsworth Kelly, is a minimalist sculpture characterized by its stark simplicity and imposing presence. This large, freestanding, rusted steel form, resembling a tall, slender blade, stands alone in a paved urban environment, drawing the viewer's attention to its geometric purity and bold silhouette. The sculpture's rough, weathered surface and oxidized hues add a touch of organic texture to its minimalist form, prompting contemplation on the interaction between the constructed and the natural. This piece exemplifies Kelly's signature style, exploring the fundamental elements of shape and color in a reductive, impactful manner.
