Synopsis:

Agnes Martin's paintings, constructions, and works on paper provide a key link between the chromatic abstraction of such artists as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, and the Minimalist vocabulary of the 1960s. This volume reproduces the paintings and constructions the artist made between 1957 and 1967 and the more well-known works she has created since 1974, as well as a large selection of Martin's writings that reveals the spiritual philosophy that sustains her painting. This catalogue to a retrospective organized by the Whitney in 1992, also contains three essays which place the works in the context of 20th-century art and culture.
