Agnes Martin: The Islands - on the way!
Two books from Agnes Martin: Paintings and Drawings 1957-1975 and The Islands
Agnes Martin was a Canadian-born American abstract painter. An element that is common to a lot of her work is matte white color that absorbs the surrounding light but only partially radiates it back as well as the structure of fine horizontal lines drawn in pencil. bdp is very pleased to share these two beautiful books of her legendary work.

1987
Ruscha is now the ‘Lone Wolf’ artist on the board at L.A.’s MOCA - change is difficult but it may just lead to some new and exciting things - that doesn’t mean however that MOCA should abandon doing good work - art and fashion are intertwined - but substance is key…

Time is short.
Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.
art [technique, craft] is long,
life is short,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment dangerous,
judgment difficult.

GERHARD RICHTER, KÖLN - COURTESY GERHARD- RICHTER-ARCHIV DRESDEN
“There was the painting of a warship that had been hit by a torpedo. It was shown in 1964, in the first gallery show of a painter who was still unknown at the time. It looked serious and dramatic, with the calm water in the distance, the inconspicuous silhouette of the ship and, underneath it all, a gigantic explosion. But then it disappeared.” via
