This is a whimsical 'tour de force' in printmaking by the late great artist Elizabeth Murray 'Shack' literally explodes off the paper surface. The artist abstracted and segmented an image of an imploded cottage, complete with smoke stack, door with door knob and broken window with sunshine creeping in throwing its' rays throughout the composition. Murray was one of the very few woman artist's to have a major retrospective of her work spanning a 40 year career, at the Museum of Modern Art by the year 2008. She was also a recipient of the coveted MacArthur Grant genius award in 1999. This print comes in a custom foam core box with core supports. Elizabeth Murray (American, 1940-2007) 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. 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. 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. She gained attention by using inventive forms and everyday objects and occurrences. 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.
