Art in lithograph Featured student artwork Portland Art Museum displays abstract prints by Ellsworth Kelly

Jeoffry Ray Vanguard Staff

Ellsworth Kelly has been described as among the most influential living artists in American contemporary art. This summer, the Portland Art Museum is giving patrons a rare chance to view dozens of works from his extensive career in printmaking. The exhibition, titled Ellsworth Kelly/Prints, features more than 80 prints by the artist over the course of his life. Loaned to the museum from the collections of Jordan Schnitzer and his family foundation, the works will be on view through Sept. 16, at which point the exhibit will travel to other museums across the country.
