Lot Essay

"I hope that I have made it clear that the work is about perfection as we are aware if it in our minds, but that the paintings are very far from being perfect - completely removed in fact - even as we ourselves are." (Agnes Martin, Notes, Agnes Martin, Writings, Winterthur, 1991, p. 15.)
