MARTIN (Agnès) Paintings and Drawings. Paintings and Drawings. Schilderijen en Tekeningen. Gemälde und Zeichnungen. 1974-1990. Amsterdam : Stedelijk Museum, [1991]. - In-4, 300 x 300 : 160 pp, 10 plates, illustrated cover, publisher's flap folder. Catalogue published on the occasion of the major retrospective exhibition at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum in spring 1991 of paintings and drawings by Canadian-born American painter Agnès MARTIN (1912-2004). The book, illustrated with numerous reproductions of the artist's works, was written in English, Dutch, German and French, as the exhibition was also presented at the Wiesbaden Museum, the Museum of Art and Culture in Münster and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. In an edition of 5,000 copies, this is one of 2,500 including 10 out-of-text lithographs on tracing paper, featuring grid compositions. " The work of American artist Agnès Martin is akin to Minimalism in its rigorous composition and adoption of a single, geometric format. The recurring form of the grid appears in her work as early as 1957, historically opposing the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism" (Centre Pompidou website). Very well preserved copy. Some marginal spotting on the dust jacket.
