Agnes Martin: Making Space for the Sacred

“I read this during my summer of research, and it changed how I sat in the Harwood gallery with her work. -- For Agnes Martin, stillness wasn’t the absence of something. It was a space made ready. Joanna Weber looks at the spiritual side of Agnes Martin’s life and work, including the houses she built by hand and the gallery at the Harwood Museum that people came to call her chapel. Read it before you sit with the seven paintings, and the room will open up differently.”
