With the sad passing of Ellsworth Kelly in December of last year, Phaidon's completion of this definitive monograph, covering the artist's entire career from the 1940s onwards, could not have been more well-timed. The 368-page hardcover book features all of his major works from early drawings to public sculptures, alongside texts by Robert Storr, Gavin Delahunty and Richard Shiff which help to illuminate things even further.

Dominique Lévy in New York is currently showing a selection of drawings from some of my favourite artists. Curated by Kate Ganz, the exhibition features a variety of works by the likes of Agnes Martin, Brice Marden, Sol LeWitt, Richard Tuttle, Ellsworth Kelly and Josef Albers, among others. Looking at the evolution of drawing and the development of some of America's most prolific minimalists during an important time in the country's history, the show's tone is calm and mature, highlighting the power and impact their seemingly simple compositions.
