Catalogue Note
"They attract and repel in roughly equal measure. As at a party, you’re peripherally aware, wherever you are, of things happening elsewhere. Marden thereby introduces an element of time. We are to view the work episodically—our minds, imaginations, and bodies riveted at each point, but without ultimate resolution. On a first encounter, they create sensations not yet transformed into feelings. Win or lose, Marden’s wager offers something that is increasingly rare in art: high stakes."
