Woodland Plant
Kelly created this lithograph on the occasion of an exhibition of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1979, "Ellsworth Kelly: Recent Paintings and Sculptures." The print is based on a pencil drawing, "Wild Sarsparilla," and it is a subtle variation of another of his lithographs, "Sarsparilla."
