Agnes Martin
Martha Tuttle
John Zurier
Peter Blum Gallery will present work by three artists for the 2025 edition of FOG Design+Art: Agnes Martin, Martha Tuttle, and John Zurier. The non-representational paintings and works on paper span three generations of artists who have been strongly influenced by specific natural environments, with the influence of Martin being reflected in the works by Tuttle and Zurier. Four significant works on paper by Martin will be presented alongside new works by Tuttle and Zurier created specifically for the gallery’s presentation. This is Peter Blum Gallery’s first time participating in FOG.

Agnes Martin
During the mature period of her practice from the 1960’s to early 2000’s, Agnes Martin created drawings and works on paper that portray her signature examination of rectangular grids within a square format. These works range from early tight grids to the opening up of forms to wider rectangles. Though relatively modest in number, Martin’s works on paper form an important part of her oeuvre. The artist made no hierarchical distinction between works on paper and works on canvas, often blurring the definitional boundaries between them by drawing on canvas and painting on paper. Martin’s works on paper are unique artworks in their own right, not studies for paintings, and contribute to a more complete understanding of her overall approach to artmaking.
Agnes Martin (b. 1912, Macklin, Saskatchewan; d. 2004, Taos, New Mexico) received her B.A. from Columbia University (1942) and an M.A. from Columbia University (1952). Selected solo exhibitions include: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2016); Tate Modern, London (2015); Peter Blum Gallery, New York (2008); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, (1991). Martin was honored with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale (1997) and National Medal of Arts from the Office of the President (1998).

Martha Tuttle
Martha Tuttle’s practice embeds natural elements in the forms of her paintings. The compositions emphasize materiality, employing physical processes such as dyeing, weaving, and sewing that permeate each of the works that are colored with naturally derived substances. Passages of translucent stretched silk are dyed with plant matter and iron while others are painted with stone pigments, creating pools of subtle elemental colors. Visually, the marks on the silk begin to suggest the cracking of a geological topography. Appearing to emerge and recede behind these sections, visible stretchers create compositional balance rather than solely serving as support. Together with the found minerals, the compositions resonate with the larger geological questionings concerning how relationships can be established with the geologic.
Martha Tuttle (b. 1989, Santa Fe, NM) lives and works in Bozeman, MT and she received an MFA from Yale School of Art, New Haven, CT. Solo exhibitions include Moody Center for the Arts, Houston (2024) and Storm King Arts Center, New York (2020-21). Tuttle participated in a Rauschenberg Residency, Captiva (2019) and received a Josef Albers Foundation Fellowship (2014). Selected public collections include The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; and The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

John Zurier
John Zurier’s paintings of atmospheric color fields examine qualities of evanescent light as well as solid radiance. Offering nuanced examples of the medium’s possibilities, Zurier pares down painting to the essentials with a sensory and allusive richness embedded in their asperity. The structural vocabularies and limited palette emphasize the beauty inherent in nature without reference to landscape. This subtle beauty is apparent in the subdued visual incidents of delicate inconsistencies in the executions of lines, marks, hues, and margins while demonstrating a deliberate emphasis on the wholeness of chromatic surface.
John Zurier (b. 1956, Santa Monica, CA) lives in Berkeley, CA and Reykjavík, Iceland. He received his MFA in painting from the University of California, Berkeley (1984). Selected solo exhibitions include: Moderna Museet Malmö, Sweden (2021); UC Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA (2018 and 2014); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2017). Zurier was named an Honoree at the Hirshhorn New York Gala "Artist x Artist" in 2019.
