Agnes Martin's "Untitled Number 5" (1975) is a minimalist painting comprised of subtle, barely perceptible variations in color. The work features a grid of soft, pale lavender stripes against a pale, ochre ground. Martin’s work is characterized by its subtle color shifts and delicate, almost imperceptible brushstrokes that evoke a sense of tranquility and quiet contemplation.
