“…..This is entirely wrong. This is the wrong way, facing the wrong way. Try not to think me me. I beg you. Believe me you will never have any power. If other people did not bring their inspirations to bear on your work, your work would be dead and you would be nothing.” – Agnes Martin (from her journal, page 16)

The publication entitled “Agnes Martin: paintings, writings, remembrances“ includes Martin’s previously unpublished writings and lecture notes, which vividly illuminate her art. Letters and facsimiles are reprinted in Martin's own hand, and cut to notebook size, adding an element of intimacy for the reader. (From the publisher’s note)
