“I have always wanted to free shape from its ground, and then to work the shape so that it has a definite relationship to the space around it; so that […] the shape finds its own space and always demands its freedom and separateness.” — Ellsworth Kelly

Red Panel (1985) is from a group of paintings, among Kelly’s most celebrated single-panel works, consisting of two straight edges, one slightly longer than the other, joined by a curve.
