Ellis]], the Harwood's director at the time and a close friend of Martin's. Today, the Agnes Martin Gallery attracts visitors from all over the world and has been compared by scholars to the [[Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence]] (Matisse Chapel), Corbusier's [[Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut]] in Ronchamp, and the [[Rothko Chapel]] in Houston. {{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

[[Wendy Beckett]], in her book ''American Masterpieces,'' said about Martin: "Agnes Martin often speaks of joy; she sees it as the desired condition of all life. Who would disagree with her?... No-one who has seriously spent time before an Agnes Martin, letting its peace communicate itself, receiving its inexplicable and ineffable happiness, has ever been disappointed. The work awes, not just with its delicacy, but with its vigor, and this power and visual interest is something that has to be experienced."<ref>{{Cite book |title=Sister Wendy's American Masterpieces |last=Beckett |first=Wendy |publisher=DK |edition=1st American |year=2000 |isbn=978-0789459589 |location=Mishawaka, Indiana, U.S.A. |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/sisterwendysamer00beck}}</ref>

Poet Hugh Behm-Steinberg's poem "Gridding, after some sentences by Agnes Martin" discusses patterns in the natural world, makes a parallel between writing and painting, and ends with a line about the poet's admiration of Martin's work.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Behm-Steinberg |first1=Hugh |year=2008 |title=Three Poems  |journal=EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts |issue=4 |publisher=Charles Alexander |url=http://chax.org/eoagh/issuefour/behm-steinberg.html |access-date=March 23, 2011}}</ref>

Her work inspired a [[Google doodle]] on the 102nd anniversary of her birth on March 22, 2014. The doodle takes color cues from Martin's late work which is marked by soft edges, muted colors and distinctly horizontal bands, turned to six vertical bars, one for each letter of the Google logo.<ref>{{cite news <!-- this link is not found |url=http://imgace.com/pic/tag/agnes-martin-google-doodle-march-22/ --> |title=Agnes Martin: To celebrate the great painter, Google Doodle offers meditative muted beauty |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2014/03/22/agnes-martin-to-celebrate-the-great-painter-google-doodle-offers-meditative-muted-beauty/ |author=Michael Cavna |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=March 22, 2014 |access-date=March 25, 2014}}</ref>
