American Artist Lecture Series Inauguration – The Department of State’s Office of Art in Embassies (AIE) is pleased to announce the AIE American Artist Lecture Series at the Tate Modern-London, in a unique collaboration with Embassy London. In Brice Marden’s early work brought together the painterly quality of abstract expressionism with the intellectual rigours of minimalism, achieving a striking balance between emotional intensity and formal simplicity. Marden talks about his work as an artist and the importance of touch, surface, colour and tone.

The American Artist Lecture Series is a partnership between Art In Embassies, Tate Modern and US Embassy London. It seeks to bring the greatest living modern and contemporary American artists to the UK in the name of cultural diplomacy. To purchase tickets for this event, click on this link.
