Plane Image: A Brice Marden Retrospective

Regular price Regular price $500

Plane Image: A Brice Marden Retrospective accompanied the artist’s first full retrospective, which presented more than 170 works spanning four decades of his career, from the early 1960s to the date of the exhibition. Organized by Gary Garrels, Brice Marden: A Retrospective of Paintings and Drawings opened at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2006 and traveled to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Hamburger Bahnhof–Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin, in 2007.

In addition to more than 270 illustrations, this catalogue features essays by Garrels, Richard Shiff, Brenda Richardson, and Carol Mancusi-Ungaro, as well as an interview with the artist by Michael Duffy. In the opening essay, “Beholding Light and Experience: The Art of Brice Marden,” Garrels provides a chronological overview of his oeuvre, introducing his innovative synthesis of examination, reflection, and action. Following, Shiff analyzes the artist’s early work in depth; Richardson discusses the importance of place, nature, and influences on his practice; and Mancusi-Ungaro looks at the materials and processes of Marden’s monochromes. An extensive chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history offer an account of Marden’s uniquely accomplished career.

This copy is signed by the artist on the title page; an unsigned copy is also available.
