Elizabeth Murray (American, 1940-2007) Elizabeth Murray received her B.F.A. from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1962 and her M.F.A. from Mills College in Oakland, California in 1964. She had a teaching position at Bard College and was a visiting professor at a number of American colleges and universities. Murray's debut was in New York City at the 1972 Annual Exhibition: Contemporary American Painting at the Whitney Museum of American Art. This lead to nearly sixty solo exhibitions in galleries world-wide throughout her life. Considered one of the nation's most important postmodernist abstract artist, Murray belonged to a generation of artists who emerged in the 1970s exposed to Minimalism and Pop art and were influenced by Cubism Surrealism and Expressionism. She gained attention by using inventive forms and everyday objects and occurrences. Critic Roberta Smith said of Murray '[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'. Today, Murray's work can be viewed in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Carnegie Museum of Art.
