Brice Marden at Glenstone

Brice Marden's remarkable five-panel painting "Moss Sutra with the Seasons" (2010-2015) is reproduced from the new Glenstone Museum Marden monograph published to commemorate the opening this week of the Pavilions at Glenstone, designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners (here, in collaboration with the artist). Commissioned by Glenstone, "Moss Sutra" brings together several signature stylistic elements from Marden's career. "Two monochromes with complex, layered palettes flank each side of a large central panel featuring fluid, calligraphic gestures against a subtly oscillating ground. Each of these monochromatic panels is inspired by a season, beginning at the left with the yellow of springtime and ending on the right with the blue-black of winter."
