AGNES MARTIN: PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS 1957-1975
(MARTIN, AGNES). Ashton, Dore & Agnes Martin. London: Arts Council of Great Britain, 1977. First Edition. 8vo. Wrappers in Printed Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine./Near Fine.. 48pp, 23 color illustrations. Designed by Emanuel Sandreuter. With an exhibition checklist and bibliography. This is the elegantly designed and printed catalogue published in conjunction with a 1977 Arts Council of Great Britain retrospective of the highly influential American minimal artist Agnes Martin. While only two of the fifty-one exhibited works are reproduced here, this early publication is notable for reproducing in facsimile the holographic twenty-one page text of the her 1976 lecture "We are in the midst of reality responding with joy". A most handsome example of this uncommon item whose matte, off-white printed dust jacket shows a bit of typical light soiling and age-toning. 0-7287-0128-6 Inventory Number: 024351
