American artist Brice Marden (b. 1938) has had a profound impact on painting today. During his career there has been a sea change in art movements, yet Marden has unwaveringly adhered to modernist principles of abstraction.

From his early monochromatic paintings of the 1960s and 1970s – sculpturally layered using oil paint and light-absorbing beeswax to explore subjectively the connections of colour to person, mood or idea – to themes inspired by Asian art and culture, composed of vivid and calligraphic loops and webs, Marden's deeply personal work incorporates multiple art historical and cultural inspirations.

Eileen Costello has studied Marden’s work closely over the past decade through numerous studio visits and discussions with the artist. She has contributed towards the production of a number of books and exhibition catalogues on the artist, and in 2003 initiated the catalogue raisonné of Marden’s drawings and paintings. A specialist in post-war American and European art, she is also the Project Director for The Catalogue Raisonné of the Drawings of Jasper Johns, at The Menil Foundation, Houston.
