Brice Marden

More about the book

These never before published or exhibited work books of artist Brice Marden (b. 1938) are here presented in lavish duotone and full-color reproductions, and offer vivid testimony to the workings of a major painter's imagination. In drawings, sketches, and studies, the intimate framework of the Work Books corresponds to the rigor and poetic intensity with which the artist reflects on the principles of autonomous abstract art. Taken as a totality, the drawings included in this book are an important artwork in their own right, and are crucial to any understanding of Marden's oeuvre.
