A comprehensive survey of rarely seen collages from the master of abstraction

Over the course of more than 50 years, renowned American artist Ellsworth Kelly made approximately 400 postcard collages, some of which served as exploratory musings and others as studies for larger works in other mediums. They range from his first monochrome in 1949 through his last postcard collages of crashing ocean waves, in 2005.
Together, these works show an unbounded space of creative freedom and provide an important insight into the way Kelly saw, experienced and translated the world in his art. Many postcards illustrate specific places where he lived or visited, introducing biography and illuminating details that make these pieces unique among his broader artistic production. Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards is the most extensive publication of Kelly’s lifelong practice of collaged postcards.

Black and White Mini Cutting Board - Son of Rand

“Every time I order from Son of Rand, it feels like stepping into a beautifully curated dream. The pieces always spark conversation, and even the packaging feels intentional and special. I’ve started gifting their finds to friends, and they always love them."

"Son of Rand has completely changed how I think about my home. It’s not just shopping. It’s discovering objects that make you feel something. My house has so much more soul because of y'all."

"Finding Son of Rand was like stumbling upon a secret world of design I didn’t know I needed. Everything they carry has a story and a point of view. It’s where I go when I want to be inspired, or when I need the perfect gift that actually means something."

Son of Rand is my happy place online. Their curation is bold, warm, and playful - like design should be. It’s where I find pieces that make my space feel like me, and I always end up adding one or two extra things I didn’t even know I wanted."

Meet the Maker

Considered one of Denmark’s greatest and most influential architects, Mogens Lassen pioneered Danish Functionalism, taking his cues from Bauhaus sensibilities. His interior designs are a natural continuation of his architectural approach and add energy and atmosphere to everyday living spaces and tasks. From decorative objects to larger furniture designs, his designs delicately balance presence without drawing undue attention, finding their natural place in any space.Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) was born in Newburgh, New York. In 1948 he moved to France, where he came into contact with a wide range of classical and modern art. He returned to New York in 1954 and two years later had his first exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, organized his first retrospective in 1973. Subsequent exhibitions have been held at museums around the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Tate in London, Haus der Kunst in Munich and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
