埃尔斯沃思·凯利(Ellsworth Kelly) 是一位国际知名的美国艺术家，他也因以美国政府和美国人民的名义捐出自己的艺术作品而闻名。 2011年7月4日，凯利的“北京组雕”被安装在美国驻北京的大使馆内。凯利为该使馆创作了两座18英尺高的墙雕，被安放在领事大楼入口处旁。凯利设计的第一组墙雕为红、白、蓝三色，代表美国。第二组墙雕，安置在对面的墙上，用中国国旗的颜色，红色和黄色代表中国。这些作品每天迎接2000多名进入使馆需求领事服务的中国公民，并成为不断增加的连接我们两个伟大国家的教育、文化和商业关系的视觉符号。

Ellsworth Kelly is an internationally renowned American artist who is also celebrated for donating his art on behalf of the U.S. government and the American people. On July 4, 2011, Kelly’s Beijing Panels were installed at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. For this post, Kelly created two eighteen-foot-high wall sculptures, which have been placed next to the entrance to the consular building. Kelly designed the first panel in red, white, and blue to represent the United States. The second panel, installed on the opposite face of the wall, represents China with red and yellow—the colors of the Chinese flag. These works greet more than 2,000 Chinese citizens a day who enter the embassy for consular services, and are visual symbols of the ever-increasing educational, cultural, and commercial ties that link our two nations.
