Lillian Ross makes nice as she hangs out with Agnes Martin, master of minimalistic painting, in Taos.

It sounds simple, but don't bother trying this at home: "You paint vertically, but the paintings hang horizontallyóthere are no drips that way.î

In April, Zwirner & Wirth had a small show spanning Martins' five decades of work.
