Book Release March 14, 2018
Agnes Martin: Pioneer, Painter, Icon (Schaffner Press) will be published on March 14, 2018 across the U.S. Written by Henry Martin,  research assistant and narrator on Agnes Martin Before the Grid.

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."
