Elizabeth Murray and Betty Woodman

This exhibition listing highlights a collaborative presentation of works by Elizabeth Murray and Betty Woodman. The selection features Murray’s signature shaped canvases and multi-dimensional oil paintings, such as "Smile and Say" (1995) and "Moonbeam" (1995-1996), alongside Woodman’s innovative ceramic assemblages including "Santa Barbara" (2005) and "Reaching" (2012).

The pairing of these two influential artists underscores their shared interest in blurring the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and craft. By showcasing Murray’s architectural approach to canvas and Woodman’s painterly approach to earthenware, the exhibition examines how both women redefined domestic motifs and abstraction through highly physical, three-dimensional mediums.
