Brice Marden, Withwhite, 2018-19, oil on linen, 72 x 120 inches
Brice Marden, Withwhite (detail)
This exhibition of six new large paintings plus several smaller pieces and a group of drawings by Brice Marden at Gagosian uptown was, I believe, a watershed exhibition for Marden. The paintings in this show, which ended December 21, 2019, are masterworks -- the artist in total integration with his medium and his language -- loose and open, always digging deeper. They are both breathtakingly beautiful and beautifully offhanded, exuding a sense of release and utter joy.
