With reproductions and installation views of the 2018 bicoastal exhibition, this catalogue brings together the meditative paintings of Agnes Martin, who spent much of her life in New Mexico, and 19th-century Navajo textiles, which also channel ideals of harmony and balance through abstraction.

A conversation between Martin’s biographer Nancy Princenthal and cultural anthropologist Anne Lane Hedlund considers the connection and elucidates shared sensibilities.

Agnes Martin

Agnes Martin was one of the most influential painters of her generation and left an enduring mark on the history of modern and contemporary art.
Interested in the transcendent potential of painting, Martin was a contemporary of the Abstract Expressionists, and identified her work with the movement. Nonetheless, her oeuvre played a critical role in heralding the advent of Minimalism.
