Agnes Martin, a prominent 20th-century painter, influenced her contemporaries and subsequent artists. Recognized for her role in the predominantly male art scene of the late 1950s and 1960s, she became a vital role model for women artists. This survey covers Martin's career, from early experimental works to her striped and gridded grey paintings, exploring her use of color and bold forms in her final pieces. The volume, featuring essays by scholars and shorter pieces on specific paintings, provides a comprehensive overview of Martin's oeuvre, including her life, relationships, and the impact of South-Asian philosophy.
