Agnes Martin – Paintings and Drawings : Schilderijen en Tekeningen : Gemalde und Zeichnungen : Peintures et Dessins 1974-1990 Special Collection (1990)

Cover of Agnes Martin: Paintings and Drawings

Two paperbacks contained within a card envelope, published by Museum Wiesbaden, 1990. A contemporary of the Abstract Expressionists, though often identified with Minimalism, Agnes Martin (1912-2004) came to prominence in the late 1950s and 1960s. Martin is perhaps most recognised for her evocative paintings marked out in subtle pencil lines and pale colour washes. Although restrained, her style was underpinned by her deep conviction in the emotive and expressive power of art. ‘Agnes Martin Paintings and Drawings – Schilderijen en Tekeningen – Peintures et Dessins 1974-1990’ is a catalogue with numerous colour and black and white illustrations, writings and poems by the artist, a Jawlensky Award supplement and a suite of ten full-page prints on translucent vellum sheets. An elegant and beautiful publication on a major minimalist. Text in English, German, Dutch and French. Price £4,000.
