It looks like a futuristic TV set or computer screen but it's wafer-thin and has no distinguishing marks or messages on it anywhere. Ellsworth Kelly deliberately made Stele II with Cor-ten steel because it corrodes evenly and does NOT reflect the environment around it. He says it's based on a kilometer marker he saw in Paris after World War II. I think it's mysterious and that the mystery of it is what makes you look at it. The title Stele refers to an ancient memorial.
