Dr. Marter is the author of three books: Theodore Roszak, The Drawings, Alexander Calder and Jose de Rivera Constructions; and three book-length catalogues, including Off Limits: Rutgers University and the Avant-Garde, 1957-63.

It was noted that Marter was author of "numerous articles and essays in museum publications and has organized panels, symposia and exhibtions". The 1997 exhibition at the Guild Hall Art Gallery in East Hampton, "Women and Abstract expressionism, painting and Sculpture, 1945-59" won "Best Art Gallery Show" from the International Critics Association.
