Creueta del Coll 1987

This steel sculpture, Creueta del Coll, was made by Ellsworth Kelly. Kelly was always interested in how shapes interact, so this is a study in how an artwork can be part of a landscape. The sculpture is a long, narrow monolith that tapers slightly as it rises, and the color of the steel gives it a kind of warmth, a grounding earthy tone. It's rough, and you can see the texture of the metal, which makes it feel really present. But what I love most is how it changes depending on the light. Sometimes it blends into the background, and other times it pops out. Think about how the shapes around it—the trees, the buildings, the sky—all play off each other. It's like a dance, where the sculpture is just one element. For me, Kelly's work is about embracing simplicity and ambiguity, and recognizing that art is always in conversation with the world around us. Like the work of Sol Lewitt, it shows how art is about exploring different possibilities rather than finding fixed answers.
