On each visit, Albers took black-and-white photographs of pyramids, shrines, sanctuaries and landscapes, which he later assembled into rarely seen photo collages.

She painted still lifes and portraits until the early 1950s, when she developed an abstract biomorphic style influenced by Abstract Expressionism. Her first one-woman exhibition was held at the Betty Parsons Gallery, New York, in 1958. Partly through close friendships with artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Ad Reinhardt, Martin began to experiment with symmetrical compositions of rectangles or circles within a square, then from around 1960-61 to work with grids of delicate horizontal and vertical lines. She left New York in 1967, shortly after the death of Reinhardt, and moved to New Mexico, where she lived until her death in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnes Martin, Frances Morris (Editor), Tiffany Bell (Editor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Distributed Art Publishers (DAP)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938922763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.80w x 1.20d\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32646484983882,"sku":"9781938922763","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8990\/4435\/products\/img_d2ef4181-25ec-43e2-a4be-82df3e1b4741.jpg?v=1611364537"},{"product_id":"georgia-okeeffe-and-her-houses-ghost-ranch-and-abiquiu-ghost-ranch-and-abiquiu-9781419703942","title":"Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Houses: Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorgia O'Keeffe's two houses in New Mexico - at Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch - are essential elements in her paintings, but their history has never before been detailed. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuoting liberally from the artist's letters, Barbara Buhler Lynes and Agapita Judy Lopez create a vibrant picture of O'Keeffe (1887-1986) and her homes, which have long intrigued the public.
