Elizabeth Murray is best known for vibrant, large-scale shaped canvases that unite elements of abstraction with forms that variously evoke cartoons and domestic objects such as tables and coffee cups. From the 1960s through the 2000s, the artist collaged, knotted, twisted, and warped her surfaces, often building them up with paint and otherwise letting them protrude, sculpturally, into the exhibition space. The exuberant results often feature explosive fields of color. Murray’s work has been exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and Beijing and belongs in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Murray presented at the 2007 Venice Biennale, just before her untimely death. Her paintings have sold for six figures on the secondary market.
