Untitled Press: Plate #3 is a lithograph in colors on Rives BFK paper, executed in 1972 by Brice Marden — one of the most celebrated and historically significant American abstract painters of the postwar period — signed and dated in pencil, from the edition of 40, published by Untitled Press, Inc. in Captiva, Florida, bearing their blindstamp and inkstamp on the reverse, printed in the United States, and catalogued as Lewison 21.3.
Brice Marden occupies a position of singular importance in the history of postwar American abstraction — an artist whose practice, rooted initially in the monochrome panel painting of the 1960s and 1970s and subsequently transformed by his celebrated engagement with calligraphic line in the 1980s and beyond, brought an extraordinary rigor, subtlety, and meditative intensity to the language of pure abstraction. His work occupies a critical position between Minimalism and a more lyrical, painterly sensibility — surfaces of restrained, deeply considered color and, in his later work, fluid linear gesture, that reward sustained and patient looking.
Untitled Press, Inc. — founded in 1972 by Robert Rauschenberg on Captiva Island, Florida — was among the most significant and artistically adventurous print workshops of its era, established specifically to provide leading contemporary artists with an unconstrained environment for printmaking experimentation, away from the commercial pressures of New York. Untitled Press: Plate #3 was produced during this foundational and historically important period of the workshop's operation, situating the work within one of the most artistically significant moments of postwar American printmaking. Printed on Rives BFK paper — one of the most prestigious supports in fine art lithography — and presented with full margins, the impression achieves a surface quality and tonal richness entirely consistent with Marden's exacting standards.
The work is in very good condition.
