About the Artist

Mary Corse, one of few female leaders of the California Light & Space movement, is renowned for her paintings which offer subtle and dynamic experiences of light, space and presence. Through her career, Corse has established a mastery of surface, developing her unique materials with properties of reflection and refraction. Her geometric, often symmetrical compositions, and reductive color (white, black and primaries) funnel the viewer’s attention toward visual perceptions of the moment, changeable with movement and shifting light.

Mary Corse was included in the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time, which traveled to Berlin in 2011. She has exhibited widely since the 1960s, and with Ace Gallery since the 1980s. Corse’s works are in important private and public collections including: the Blanton Museum of Art; Foundation Beyeler; Frederick R. Weisman Foundation; the Getty Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Menial Collection, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; Harbor Art Museum, Newport Beach; Museum of Art, West Palm Beach; Norton Museum of Art; Seattle Art Museum; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and the Whitney Museum.
