{"product_id":"9781951449995","title":"Helen Marden","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe   first-ever monograph on painter Helen Marden, covering over forty years of   her work.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first ever monograph to present the full oeuvre   of the painter Helen Marden. The book documents her development from the   abstracted, dark, and muted landscapes of the early 1980s, through the vibrantly   hued, more lyrical work of the 1990s and early 2000s, to the most recent \u003ci\u003eGrief\u003c\/i\u003e paintings, made in response to the passing of her husband, the artist Brice   Marden. Over the last decade, Marden has attached found objects—primarily   shells collected from around the world—to the surfaces of her works, giving   them a unique texture and providing an index of her travels. A new essay by   Anna Godbersen discusses the development of Marden’s practice in concert with   changes in her personal life, her voyages around the globe, and her close   relationships with key figures in the art world. An interview with the artist   Kiki Smith is also included, along with a “travelogue” documenting Helen and   Brice’s studios and travels over the course of their fifty-five-year   marriage.","brand":"River Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Rizzoli |  Hardback  |  2026-02-03","offer_id":47340738511103,"sku":"9781951449995","price":135.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_8aab65d8-9bc8-4c0e-8edc-af0e7f7f09cc.jpg?v=1760025171","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781951449995","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
