If You Give An Artist An Ellsworth Kelly Painting To Work Off Of, This Is What Can Result

Glenn Ligon took the Kelly painting “Blue Black” at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis and then pulled together a show that pulls together disparate artists in what Ligon calls “a meander.” He says, not being a curator, “I’m not bound by chronology or genre. It’s about encounters and collisions. I’m an artist, too. I have my work in juxtaposition with other work in the show. That’s a luxury I can do.”
