Created in 1978, Leaf IX epitomizes Ellsworth Kelly’s masterclass in Classical Abstraction, reducing organic botanical contour to pure, architectural line and form. Executed during a pivotal era of Kelly's exploration into plant lithography, the work balances spatial tension, positive and negative space, and minimalist rigor. Every edition across all format choices—including canvas—is finished with a refined, consistent clean white gallery border that floats the composition seamlessly with no cropping, delivering a gallery-ready presentation tailored for refined contemporary interiors.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
