Description
Previously unpublished lectures and essays by Agnes Martin, from Arne Glimcher's book: Agnes Martin: Paintings, Writings, Remembrances (2012). "What is Real?," lecture given at Yale University on April 5, 1976, "The current of the river of life moves us," prepared for a lecture at the University of New Mexico Santa Fe, 1979, "The untroubled mind," transcribed by Ann Wilson from conversations with Agnes Martin in summer 1972. Agnes Martin's career spanned over seven decades. Though a major influence on Minimalist painters, Martin saw her own work, more closely related to Abstract Expressionism, her paintings being 'meditations on innocence, beauty, happiness and love.' More than 130 of these works can be found in this book. Agnes Martin: Paintings, Writings, Remembrances is the first and only complete career retrospective publication of the visionary painter. This important and beautiful book brings together 130 of Martin's paintings and drawings, with her previously unpublished writings and lecture notes, which vividly illuminate her art. Letters and facsimiles are reprinted in Martin's own hand, and cut to notebook size, adding an element of intimacy for the reader. With the Pace Gallery founder, Arne Glimcher's illuminating introduction, his personal remembrances of visits to Martin at her studio, and their correspondence throughout her career, reveal much about the artist's life and work.
