Brice Marden Drawings [first edition]

Published to accompany an exhibition of the Whitney Museum of American Art's collection of 52 Brice Marden drawings, this book aims to show how Marden's innovative concepts began and evolved through his drawings. The author surveys his graphic achievements - the solid forms and muted tonalities of the 1960s, and the later calligraphic imagery that culminated in the "Cold Mountain" series - and in an interview with the artist explores his interplay of technique and subject matter, his sources of inspiration, and the role that his drawings play in the oeuvre.
