Brice Marden, the abstract painter known most widely for his long, winding calligraphic mark-making that stood out against monochromatic backgrounds, has died aged 84
. His death was confirmed to CNN by Gagosian, the New York gallery that represented him, via email on Thursday. The gallery’s founder, Larry Gagosian, added in a statement: “Brice Marden was one of our greatest American artists, whose achievement in continuing and extending the tradition of painting has long been recognized and celebrated the world over.
After graduating in 1963, he moved to the city with his first wife, Pauline Baez, sister of folk singer Joan Baez. The two lived together in a railroad apartment which Marden also used as a studio. He worked as a guard at the Jewish Museum and was there during its 1964 retrospective of the celebrated American painter Jasper Johns’ career.
