Brice Marden

Artist Information


Brice Marden (born October 15, 1938), is an American artist, generally described as Minimalist, although his work may be hard to categorize. Marden developed the formal strategies that would characterize his drawings and paintings in the proceeding decades: a preoccupation with rectangular formats, and the repeated use of a muted palette. In his early work of the   960s and 1970s, he used simplified means, typically monochrome canvases either alone or in series of panels, diptychs or triptychs.
