Her Story. This exhibition of 42 prints presents, for the first time, all the artist's editioned works created at Universal Limited Art Editions, beginning in 1986 and continuing for the last two decades.
Elizabeth Murray (1940–2007) was a celebrated painter, draftsman, printmaker, and
winner of the MacArthur “genius” grant (1999).
Murray’s art, based on objects and
occurrences from everyday life, has been described as “cerebral,” “complex,” and
“zany.” Roberta Smith wrote in the artist’s New York Times obituary that Murray
“reshaped Modernist abstraction into a high-spirited, cartoon-based, language of
form whose subjects included domestic life, relationships and the nature of painting
itself.”
This exhibition of 42 prints presents, for the first time, all the artist’s
editioned works created at Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), beginning in 1986
and continuing for the last two decades of the artist’s prolific career.
Several
paintings by Murray are also on view. Works are loaned by the Fearer/Randel
Collection and ULAE. Read the press release.
