Rejecting the conventions of a rectangular canvas, she created exuberant compositions that dissolved the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurray belongs to a generation of artists from the 1970s whose exposure to Cubist-derived Minimalism and surrealist-influenced pop-inspired experimentation with new modes of expression. She continuously challenged the conventions of painting by twisting, warping, and knotting her forms, extending imagery into shaped canvases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer contoured (literally) compositions often merged abstraction with familiar domestic images, balanced humor with formal intention. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough her work was serious in its commitment to pushing the boundaries of painting, it is united by an overarching sense of joy and playfulness and her intentional use of bright, sometimes garish, colors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final decade of Murray's career saw an increasingly ambitious body of multi-panel paintings that revisited recurring motifs—including interiors, tables, coffee cups, and shoes—with renewed energy and complexity.

The forms echo the dynamic energy of her shaped canvases, with bold saturated forms intertwining. The work was published by the esteemed Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York. Alongside her drawings, Murray's prints allow insight into her drive to blur traditional distinctions between abstraction and figuration, unencumbered by the demands of large-scale intensive paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurray's works are held in many major public collections, including those of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the MoMA, the Whitney, the Art Institute of Chicago, the SFMoMA, the Carnegie, and the Wadsworth Atheneum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:troy@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003evisit our Toronto Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"We Meet Again\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA, 2004\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLithograph on paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned and dated, lower right\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumbered \"26\/108\", lower left\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e31\"H 46\"W (work)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e48\"H 52.75\"W (framed)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900988768492,"sku":"06-26","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/2712\/files\/Caviar20_Elizabeth-Murray-We-Meet-Again-2004_01.jpg?v=1784237830","url":"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/products\/elizabeth-murray-we-meet-again-lithograph-2004","provider":"Caviar20","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
