6 June 2015. Agnes Martin at Tate Modern

This exhibition followed close on the heels for me of Shirazeh Houshiary at the Lisson. Both artists provide backgrounds of detailed, painstaking and repetitive complexity to their works. Agnes Martin was schizophrenic and her works of subtle simplicity have a studied calm and obsessiveness. I particularly liked the series of paintings towards the end of the exhibition which challenged the viewer to identify the differences within the superficial similarity.
