Both were deeply interested in the American experience as something immediate and poetic, and they embedded the waterfront in their work. In their lofts they found actual relics of the old seafaring days: nautical equipment, shipbuilding materials, iron wheels, charts and ledgers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Where City History Was Made,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1993\/01\/05\/arts\/where-city-history-was-made-a-50-s-group-made-art-history.html\"> a 50&#8217;s Group Made Art History<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In this film Agnes Martin described her friendship with Jack Youngerman and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/2014\/04\/10\/a-feminist-actress-famous-stranger-her-name-is-delphine-seyrig\/\">Delphine Seyrig, 1957.<\/a><br \/>\nand their son who grew up to be bi-lingual shuttling between France and USA. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnews.com\/2013\/05\/28\/wisdom-of-agnes-martin\/\">Wisdom of Agnes Martin <\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As a fledgling art dealer in 1963, Pace Gallery founder <strong>Arne Glimcher<\/strong> met painter Agnes Martin at a party at Jack Youngerman\u2019s loft on Coenties Slip in Lower Manhattan. \u201cWe clicked immediately,\u201d Glimcher recalls. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>One of the more curious chapters in Martin\u2019s 92-year life concerns her brief career as a filmmaker. In 1976, she made a movie called Gabriel, about a ten-year-old boy\u2019s impressions of the natural world around him. \u201cEvery rock, pebble and plant struggling for survival . . . is recorded,\u201d Glimcher writes in the book. Martin was so pleased with the outcome that she planned another film \u201cabout the seduction of the princess of China by Genghis Khan,\u201d he says. She went to Japan and hired Kabuki actors and brought them to New Mexico, where she hired Native Americans to play the Mongols. \u201cFilming went on for a time before the project became uncontrollable in its scale,\u201d Glimcher remembers. She gave it up and returned to painting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agnes1952.jpg\" alt=\"agnes1952\" title=\"agnes1952\" width=\"500\" height=\"327\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agnes1952.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agnes1952-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\nFound this early untitled painting by Agnes Martin from<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/collection\/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A3787&#038;page_number=1&#038;template_id=1&#038;sort_order=1\"> MoMa Collection. <\/a><br \/>\n(Water Color and Ink)<br \/>\nSee more<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/collection\/artist.php?artist_id=3787\"> from MoMa..<\/a><\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Young artist feels the weight of history from the last two images.<br \/>\nAgnes Martin time to go<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agtimetogo2-300x110.jpg\" alt=\"agtimetogo2\" title=\"agtimetogo2\" width=\"300\" height=\"110\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agtimetogo2-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/agtimetogo2.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ambothsides2.jpg\" alt=\"ambothsides2\" title=\"ambothsides2\" width=\"455\" height=\"357\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ambothsides2.jpg 455w, https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ambothsides2-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><br \/>\nAgnes Martin Both Sides of the Room, From the series &#8220;Other People&#8217;s Art by <a href=\"http:\/\/artnews.org\/gabrielavainsencher\/?i=19\">Gabriela Vainsencher<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young Agnes Martin On the roof top Agnes Martin (at right, on the rooftop of the Coenties Slip building where she lived in New York.
