Edited with interview by Emily Wei Rales, Ali Nemerov. Introduction by Emily Wei Rales. Text by Suzanne Hudson.
Throughout his career, American artist Brice Marden (born 1938) has explored various modes of painterly abstraction, producing monochrome canvases in nuanced, muted hues as well as calligraphic compositions on a grand scale. This book marks the long-term exhibition of Moss Sutra with the Seasons (2010–15) at Glenstone Museum, a monumental five-panel painting commissioned by Glenstone and inspired by the artist's fascination with moss, the changing seasons and traditional Chinese calligraphy, among other subjects. The catalog includes two original essays by art historian Suzanne Hudson, an interview with the artist about this commission and a photo-essay by the artist's daughter, Mirabelle Marden, who documented the process of creating the work. Also included are reproductions of all additional works by the artist in Glenstone's collection, a group which spans each decade of the artist's career and an introduction by Emily Wei Rales, Founder and Director of Glenstone Museum.
"Conturbatio" (1978) is reproduced from 'Brice Marden.'

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." continue to blog
