We're saddened to note the passing of Ellsworth Kelly on Sunday. In remembrance of this great American painter, we are reposting a 2012 conversation between the artist and LACMA curators Stephanie Barron and Britt Salvesen. Kelly's Blue Curve III is on view in the Ahmanson Building, Level 2.

While he was here previewing the exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Prints and Drawings, we caught a conversation between the artist and curators Stephanie Barron and Britt Salvesen. In the video, Kelly touches on his time in Los Angeles at Gemini G.E.L.; making drawings on the hotel stationery at Chateau Marmont; and his feelings about the exhibition at LACMA.
