Brice Marden
This poster featuring Elevation (2018–19) was produced in 2019, in conjunction with Brice Marden: It reminds me of something, and I don’t know what it is. at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. The painting comes from Marden’s ongoing Letter series, in which networks of calligraphic lines and strokes weave through fields of color and tone. The Letter paintings were initially inspired by a poem by Huang Tingjian, a Chinese calligrapher, painter, and poet of the Song dynasty. In these new works, however, Marden experiments with whites, greens, oranges, and vibrant yellows—shades that have previously rarely occurred in his palette.
