R.I.P. Agnes Martin

Agnes Martin was a Canadian artist who lived in the American Southwest. Her style is minimal (not minimalist) and drop dead gorgeous. Here is one and it's really hard to get the full imact of her work from a small web image:

A good obituary is here: Famed abstract painter Agnes Martin dies at age 92. The only book of her work in print these days is this one: Agnes Martin: The Nineties and Beyond by Ned Rifkin and Edward Hirsch. I would imagine that your local librariy would be able to get it.
