Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Marian Zazeela: Drawings at Kunst im Regenbogenstadl, Polling, 2000. Over the past six decades, Zazeela was a central figure of the New York avant-garde. Her expansive practice encompassing painting, calligraphic drawing, film, light projection, stage design, sculpture, and light environments applied rigorous formal procedures to enact states of transcendence.

In 1962, Zazeela produced a series of highly singular drawings that charted the course of her subsequent work. Employing both improvisation and an increasing array of rigorous compositional techniques, Zazeela’s ornamental shapes render the page a concentrated visual field of startlingly complex design.
