Etching with aquatint, on Somerset satin paper Hang signed and dated lower right. Image size 20 x 20 cm. Sheet size 75 x 57 cm. Brice Marden’s Tiles (1979) is an etching with aquatint on Somerset satin paper that reflects his quiet, meditative approach to abstraction. Centered within a large expanse of blank paper, a small square grid of intersecting black lines appears both structured and irregular, with subtle variations in density and texture. The composition evokes architectural frameworks or fragments of urban space, yet remains deliberately ambiguous. Marden’s restrained use of form and space emphasizes balance, repetition, and the physical trace of the artist’s hand. Created in an edition of 50, the work exemplifies his exploration of minimalism while introducing a tactile, almost calligraphic sensitivity to line.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
