Window Study #3 — Fine Art

Window Study #3 - 1985 presents a narrow opening in a calm colour field. The marked rectangle sits against a quiet ground. From across the room the geometry reads clearly. Up close you see slight changes in the pigment where the brush stopped. Brice Marden worked with wax and pigment, and that practice shows in the way the edges stay soft.

The fine art print uses a matte sheet, so the greys do not shine under a lamp. The frame finish 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.

It hangs on the stairwell wall above the third step. From the landing you see the long rectangle, then from the bottom tread you notice the pencil lines along the inner edge.
