Dinner with Agnes Martin
The title of this show is in part tongue-in-cheek and in part a serious tribute to a tremendously influential artist who alerted the art world to the type of work in this exhibition. “Which artist living or dead would you want to have dinner with – and it wouldn’t be awkward?” one of us asked the other, and both immediately answered, “Agnes Martin!” The reasons we would seek her company likely differ. But all see her work as tremendously significant to their own practice. Martin opened a door onto abstract and minimalist art that retains the hand of the artist. The artists in this exhibition work on the other side of that door.
