Agnes Martin: Art and Memories
Category: agnes martin
Agnes Martin, a visionary painter, is the focus of the only complete career retrospective available, showcasing all her most iconic works known for their exquisite visual poetry. This comprehensive collection also includes personal letters and facsimiles reprinted in Martin's own hand, bringing an added layer of intimacy to this timeless book.
Throughout her career spanning over seven decades, Agnes Martin gained widespread recognition, particularly following the highly successful 2015-17 major exhibition at Tate Modern, London, which garnered global acclaim. Despite being a significant influence on Minimalist painters, Martin herself viewed her work as more closely aligned with Abstract Expressionism, describing her paintings as "meditations on innocence, beauty, happiness, and love."
The upcoming reissue of Martin's catalog by her exhibition manager and close friend, Arne Glimcher, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the artist's world. This highly-regarded book features 130 of Martin's paintings and drawings, as well as her previously unpublished writings and lecture notes. With Glimcher's illuminating introduction, personal recollections of visits to Martin's studio, and their correspondence over the years, readers are granted valuable insights into both the artist's life and her creative process.
