At the Edge of Things : Baer, Corse, Martin
Calming exhibition at Pace Gallery of three female American abstract artists looking at their work in white and pale colours. At first glance these worked looked very similar and a bit boring but as you looked closely all the work was more individualist and clever than you realised. I was most drawn to the work of Mary Corse and loved her “White Diamond, Positive Stripe” which at first appeared a constant white but you then realised was fading into slightly different shades. I also like her works on bevelled frames which were wedged at the back. Agnes Martin’s work incorporated thin pencil lines which played with your eyes and Jo Baer’s added a thin brightly coloured painted frame round her white works. Closes 14 August 2019
