Agnes Martin: Pioneer, Painter, Icon (Schaffner Press) will be published March 2018 across the U.S. Written by Henry Martin,  research assistant and narrator on Agnes Martin Before the Grid.

This comprehensive biography explores the artist's life from her birth in the pioneer plains of Canada to her status of icon in the New Mexico desert (and everything in between). Covering the span of Martin's life, the book includes many characters featured in the Before the Grid documentary including Kristina Wilson, Marcia Oliver, Bob Ellis, Jim Wagner, Louise Sause, and John De Puy.

Henry Martin says, "Working on Agnes Martin Before the Grid with filmmakers Kathleen Brennan and Jina Brenneman was an incredible collaboration for me. Not only did I learn from their scholarship and methodology, I was inspired by their foresight in tackling overlooked chapters in Agnes Martin's life."

An award-winning Irish writer and art scholar, based in the U.K., the author hopes that Agnes Martin: Pioneer, Painter, Icon will appeal to a broad audience, while revealing many new discoveries (and rare photographs) to those already familiar with the artist's life and work. Described by Betty Parsons' biographer, Lee Hall, as "Rich, clear, detailed, and wide-ranging,"

Agnes Martin: Pioneer, Painter, Icon will be available to order from all good bookshops. Paperback Original, 9781943156306, $18.95, 352 pages
