A drawing can be very refined just because it’s so direct and there’s so little between you and the expression. I love how drawing is so close to you. It comes right out of you.
—Brice Marden
Gagosian is pleased to announce Brice Marden: Works on Paper, organized in collaboration with the Estate of Brice Marden. The exhibition features previously unseen work from the artist’s final two decades, selected by his daughters Mirabelle Marden and Melia Marden.
Presented in Paris, the exhibition pays tribute to Marden’s long ties to the city. It was during his stay in Paris in 1964 that the artist furthered his interest in depicting a place through a kind of abstract reasoning. He created gridded monochrome works using charcoal rubbings of the tiled walls in the home where he stayed. It’s an intuitive leap that is both esoteric and practical—a literal recording of his environment.
