Jones, Jutta Koether and Zoe Leonard — responding to Martin's paintings not as historians but as people who make things, in the seventh volume of Dia's Artists on Artists series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgnes Martin's grids invite a particular kind of writing: reverent, hushed, slightly evasive. This book avoids that, largely because its contributors have their own practices at stake. Vija Celmins finds affinities with Martin's attention to the field and the picture plane, and admires the rigour and consistency underneath. Jennie C. Jones traces the effect of solitude on the work while connecting the grid to sonic notation and pattern. Jutta Koether applies a Derridean reading that deliberately destabilises the contradictions inside the paintings. Zoe Leonard finds the personal and poetic in Martin's commitment to repetition. Abundantly illustrated across Martin's long career, the result is a critical reader that reopens an artist often treated as settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 pages with 105 colour plates drawn from across Martin's career\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Matilde Guidelli-Guidi and Svetlana Kitto with Karen Rasaby; foreword by Jessica Morgan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexts by Vija Celmins, Jennie C.
