Nevisian TriptychAffiche encadrée

Nevisian Triptych - 2008 is a Brice Marden work built from three parts. Winding lines move across each panel, some pressed harder than others, so the hand of the artist stays visible. The marks do not settle into a picture. They keep turning.

The frame can follow the room: a light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. The framed poster hangs on the chimney breast, where the lines pick up the low evening light and stay readable.

In the study, the framed poster sits between two bookcases. From the desk you see the three parts line up, and the loops seem to lean toward each other.
