Mary Martin (1907-1969) was one of the most distinguished and influential of a small group of English constructive artists of the 1950s and '60s. Her geometric paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings explore colour, line and form as basic formal elements. This multiple was purchased from her husband, Kenneth Martin. According to Stephen Bury in Artist's Multiples 2001, this was an unlimited edition. However, it is doubtful that more than 100 to 200 copies were actually made. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
