Elizabeth Murray's distinctively shaped canvases break with the art-historical tradition of illusionistic space in two-dimensions. Jutting out from the wall and sculptural in form, Murray's paintings and watercolors playfully blur the line between the painting as an object and the painting as a space for depicting objects.
Elizabeth Murray is featured in the Season 2 episode "Humor" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

wow. I used to go to that very same room and look at Excavation and the Joan Mitchell Painting in the same room-- it was what made me fall in love with Chicago and go to school there- and it was a point of solace for me. It's nice to remember all of the dozens of students who did the same thing, Including Elizabeth Murray. She will be missed!
