Agnes Martin once compared painting to “[crossing] an empty beach to look at the ocean.” On her birthday, we invite you to slow down and step into that field of vision 🌊

Painstakingly handmade, Martin's gridded canvases contain an astonishing variety of tones, textures, and optical effects. They reward sustained attention and thoughtful reflection—the same principles at the heart of "Reimagined: The Fisher Collection at 10."

Step into the galleries starting April 18 and experience how works like Martin’s invite you to slow down, notice the details, and see familiar favorites in a new light. Martin is featured in a series of monographic galleries that take a more artist-centered approach, inviting visitors to encounter each artist—including Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and others—through their works and their own words.
