Kenneth Noland (1924 – 2010) is one of the most important artists and contributors to the evolution of American abstraction. He is one of the most beloved figures in the Color-Field movement.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, such as Helen Frankenthaler and Sam Gilliam, Noland was not interested in printmaking until later in his career.
Throughout his career, Noland produced only a small number of editioned works. This elegant and impactful work from 2009 comes from the final chapter of the artist's career, during which he revisited some of his most iconic elements.
"Sky Circle" is a classic example of the artist's most recognizable and sought-after motifs, the target or concentric circle.
As a preeminent figure in color field exploration, Noland consistently showcases the dynamic interplay of color with its surroundings continuing a tradition started by Mondrian and Albers, amongst others.
Noland's nuance is apparent in this piece, with the vibrant sky blue background presenting a gentle yet striking contrast to the cobalt center and subsequent bands. The largest ring, a diffused powder blue, is anchored by a confident hunter green, creating a mesmerizing illusion of suspension.
