Agnes Martin: The Nineties And Beyond

Agnes Martin: The Nineties And Beyond by Hirsch, Edward. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9783775711654.

Agnes Martin has spent every morning for the past 40 years working in her New Mexico studio, producing square abstract paintings that consist of graphite horizontal lines across fields of white, gray, or pale colors. Though her work superficially belongs to the history of Minimalism, Martin considers her paintings the abstract expression of positive inner states of existence. Published on the occasion of her 90th birthday, this catalogue presents the iconic serenity and elegant geometry of her canvasses from the past decade, in a format complimentary to Martins own immutable aesthetic.
