Artists' Visions
Elizabeth Murray
Art curator Robert Storr moderates a discussion with painter Elizabeth Murray about her art and artistic practice. Prior to their conversation, Murray presents a slideshow of her work, including pages from her art book (which she later destroyed) The History of the World, work from her Beer Glasses series, and Breaking (1980). She discusses her technique, the evolution of her artistic practice, and what currently excites her about making art. Following her presentation, Murray and Storr discuss the use of color and geometric elements in Murray’s pieces, as well as the artists that have influenced her work. The discussion concludes with audience questions. At the time of this recording, Murray’s work was displayed at the Pace Wildenstein Gallery in New York for her solo exhibition, Elizabeth Murray: Recent Paintings.
