–
Martin’s oeuvre focuses on the internal aspects of beauty, love and innocence without regard for the external world. Using a defined, serene palette and a geometric vocabulary, she inscribed her work with delicate lines or grids that suspends over subtle washes of colour.
She received multiple honours during her life, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1989, the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1997 and the National Medal of Arts in 1998. Her work is in more than 60 public collections worldwide and has been the subject of solo exhibitions globally.
