The exhibition  which will travel to San Francisco and Berlin  will constitute an unprecedented gathering of Mardens work  with more than 50 paintings and an equal number of drawings  balanced across the artists career. The accompanying catalogue is the first book to take readers through the full course of Mardens work as it has developed over more than 40 years from the early 1960s to the present  showing his gradual  deliberate evolution  along with his constant exploration of light  color and surface at every turn. Mardens first 20 years of work  characterized by the luminous monochrome panels for which he won his first acclaim  will for the first time appear alongside the celebrated production of the past 20 years  which followed a shift in the mid-1980s to calligraphic gestures in shimmering grounds  and another shift in the past decade to heightened color. Two of Mardens newest paintings appear here for the first time. Gary Garrels interprets Mardens work and places it in historical context. Carol C. Mancusi-Ungaro  of the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art at Harvard  examines issues of materials  processes and conservation. Richard Shiff  Brenda Richardson and Michael Duffy explore Mardens early use of a grid and his engagement with time and space in the studio  as well as his observation of the elemental qualities of nature  his representational links to nature  and the distinctive emotional effects of the abstract monochrome works for which he was initially recognized. Marden himself addresses his working methods in an interview  and a comprehensive chronology  exhibition history and bibliography close the book out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280442581045,"sku":"ByrdShop_087070446X","price":391.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780870704468.jpg?v=1780636348","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/plane-image-a-brice-marden-retrospective-9780870704468","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
