Agnes Martin [Jill Johnston Library]

Softcover, 188 pages, a well-worn copy that was the working copy of the late great Jill Johnston (1929-2010) cultural, literary and dance critic, memoirist, radical lesbian feminist and champion of the avant-garde, and it bears her distinctive blue ink-stamp on the first page which reads “Write first. then live. J.J.” and her pencilled initials, but also a good deal of underlining and notations within the texts. Johnston had written an important essay on Martin after visiting the artist in New Mexico in 1973. 60 color & 40 b/w reproductions. Corners lightly bumped, esp. bottom front & covers somewhat soiled while the interior of the book is flawless save for the aforementioned notations. Further images upon request.
