Agnes Martin Offering
203 Fine Art presents a rare, new offering by the legendary Agnes Martin (1912-2004).
This painting, Untitled Orange and Yellow, c. 1994, is a part of the artist's ground-breaking grid series. It was acquired by a well-known acquaintance of the artist, directly from Martin in 1995, whom remains present owner to this day. The painting is unsigned and is not currently included in the catalogue. However, other works by Agnes Martin have been acquired by this same owner then sold privately as well as through auction and have been accredited, due to this owner’s clear provenance as an important collector of Agnes Martin, as artworks that would have otherwise been left behind.
With excellent provenance directly back to the artist, this painting, being in a private collection since 1995, is in fine condition and only now available for purchase.

203 Fine Art was established in 2006 by artists Eric Andrews and Shaun Richel, with the vision of founding a venue for contemporary art in the traditionally inclined art landscape of Taos, New Mexico. As an artist-owned gallery, 203 Fine Art's selection of offerings is curated with an artist's eye for truly quality works.
Richel and Andrews have a wide range of knowledge in contemporary, regional historic traditional and modern art, the Taos Moderns, Los Angeles 1960s Cool School, New York and San Francisco Abstract Expressionist movements. These historic art movements have significantly influenced the artists who lived and worked in Taos from the 1940s onward. Through years of research and community encounters, 203 Fine Art has established the largest commercial collection of Taos Modern artworks.
