  • Catalogue Essay

    Among the first instances of the impact of Greek and Roman architecture on Marden are in the prints entitled 12 Views for Caroline Tatyana which began in 1977 and completed in 1979. In comparison with the paintings of this period they are radical in their division of the plane and in their suggestion of doorways and windows. Once again Marden plays on the contrast between notions of inside and outside in a manner related to the appearance of the façade of a Greek temple. Looking at a temple, the individual columns of a façade appear to make up a single plane of light and shade.

  • Artist Biography

    Brice Marden

    American • 1938 - N/A

    Born in Bronxville and working between New York City, Tivoli, New York, and Hydra, Greece, Brice Marden developed a unique style that departs from his Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist contemporaries. Drawing from his personal experiences and global travels, Marden’s works demonstrate a gestural and organic emotion channeled through the power of color. By the late 1960s, Marden received international recognition as the master of the monochrome panel and, in the late 1970s, began exploring the relationship between horizontal and vertical planes. His practice is deeply informed by his knowledge of classical architecture, world religion, ancient history, and spirituality. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1998, Marden is represented in notable institutional collections including the Whitney Museum of Art, New York, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
