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.

"A contemporary of Pierre Chareau and Charlotte Perriand, Irish-born designer Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is known primarily for her highly original furniture and interior design but also realized nine buildings in her lifetime and amassed an archive of more than 45 architectural projects. This monograph by Caroline Constant is the first in-depth study of Gray’s entire career, providing a generously illustrated analysis of her early designs as well as her work as an architect beginning in 1926. It draws on a wealth of archival material, plans, drawings, and photographs – including many of Gray’s own – to place her in the context of contemporary movements in design and architecture as well as twentieth-century social and cultural history."
