Specialist note

The four lithographs in Agnes Martin's Untitled (1998) are indicative of the softer and serene works we see later in her life - a delicate shift from the more stark and severe minimalism that launched her career in the 1950s and 1960s. While this series retains her signature line and grid style, the subtlety of color and soft deviations from the rigid lines show obvious traces of the artist's hand - a quality that could never be replicated by her minimalist contemporaries.
