Friendship 1963 - Agnes Martin exhibition, Tate Modern, London, UK 02 June 2015
Tate Modern opens major retrospective of American painter Agnes Martin. The exhibition covers the full breadth of her practice from early experimental works with found objects to her late evocative paintings, reasserting her position as a key figure in the traditionally male-dominated field of American abstraction. Highlights include: Martin’s important early work Friendship 1963, a gold leaf covered canvas incised with Martin’s emblematic fine grid; The artist’s group of white paintings The Islands I – XII 1979; and a selection of Martin’s large-scale late square paintings rarely seen together including the artist’s last work before her death in 2004
