Old Fence Wire_4467
Brice Marden is one of my favorite living painters. Peter Schjeldahl described him as "the most profound abstract painter of the past four decades."
This week I was hauling some fence wire to be recycled and the pattern caught my eye; it reminded me of Marden's work. I came back with my camera and took some pictures. Here is one of Mardens paintings:
DRIP Cold Mountain 5 (Open) 1989 – 1991, oil on linen
The January 2011 issue of Art in America has an article on Marden's new work: Letters from a Painter.
I like your photo better...
