Published to accompany Kelly’s exhibition at Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, held from 6 April to 1 May 1965. The catalogue presents a selection of the artist’s recent paintings, including Curved Red on Blue (1963), Blue Green Red II (1965) and Orange Blue I (1965), reproduced alongside concise captions identifying each work.

With its striking red, blue and green design, bold typography and minimal presentation, the catalogue reflects the clarity and precision of Kelly’s approach to colour, form and abstraction. An important piece of ephemera documenting the artist’s mid-1960s practice and his exhibitions at one of New York’s leading modern art galleries.
