Agnes Martin: Painting, Writings, Remembrances, pubblicato da Phaidon, offre una versatile panoramica sulla carriera di Agnes Martin (1912-2004), nota per il suo stile distintivo sviluppato negli anni '50 sulla base dell'espressionismo astratto. Il libro presenta i più importanti dipinti e disegni dell'artista americana, completati dalle lettere personali e dagli appunti delle lezioni dell'artista. Il libro è stato scritto dal gallerista, direttore e amico personale di Agnes Martin, Arne Glimcher, che per quasi tutta la durata della carriera della Martin ha anche organizzato mostre e vendite delle sue opere.

Agnes Martin’s career spanned over seven decades, with a profile that has skyrocketed since the 2015-17 major exhibition at Tate Modern, London that travelled globally to great acclaim. 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.’ This much-anticipated reissue of Martin’s exhibition manager and close friend Arne Glimcher’s highly-acclaimed book presents 130 of her paintings and drawings alongside her previously unpublished writings and lecture notes. Glimcher’s illuminating introduction, his personal memories of visits to Martin at her studio, and their correspondence throughout her career, reveal many insights into the artist’s life and work.
