One of the preeminent American painters of the 20th century, Agnes Martin (1912-2004) was often associated with and considered an important figure of Minimalism, creating subtle and evocative work that had significant impact on her contemporaries and those who followed. With a signature grid-pattern that encompassed limited compositional motifs, she discovered endless nuance and variation in radical presentations of interlocking horizontal and vertical lines in pencil on large square canvases.
This exhibition, which the Tate Modern in London organized in collaboration with the Guggenheim, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, traces Martin’s career from her early experiments in the 1950s through her mature work and final paintings.
