Agnes Martin: Before the Grid

| Location: |
Harwood Museum of Art |
| Description: |
The year 2012 will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Agnes Martin (born on March 22, 1912). To commemorate this occasion, and to celebrate Martin’s significant connection to Taos and to the Harwood Museum of Art, the museum will present an exhibition of a little known body of Martin’s paintings dating from the late 1940s and 1950s. Agnes Martin: Before the Grid will trace the entire span of Martin’s early work, beginning with early portraits, a still life, and landscapes. The direction towards abstraction will be evident in several biomorphic works and early geometric paintings. If sufficient funding is secured, the museum will host a symposium on March 23 and 24. This exhibition is an Official Project of the New Mexico Centennial. |
