»Brice Marden: Let the Painting Make You« documents an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper.

This catalog documents an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Brice Marden, on view at Gagosian Madison Avenue from November–December 2023. The works in the exhibition comprise the artist’s last paintings and related works on paper. Six paintings, completed in spring 2023, feature the artist’s familiar looping marks against mostly monochromatic grounds. His final painting, completed just days before his passing on August 10, 2023, includes seven vertical sections, each painted in a single color—a variation on themes he had been exploring throughout his six-decade-long career.

New essays by art historians Tiffany Bell and Paul Galvez discuss this suite of six paintings in the context of Marden’s oeuvre.
