Elizabeth Murray — Undoing (K. 24)
Elizabeth Murray

Undoing (K. 24)

"Undoing (K. 24)" exemplifies Elizabeth Murray's characteristic exploration of fragmented form and expressive color through a complex combination of printmaking techniques. The work's composition across three separate sheets of shaped paper creates a dynamic, non-linear visual experience that challenges conventional viewing of the picture plane. Murray's layering of lithograph, etching, and aquatint produces rich chromatic effects and textural depth that reinforce the work's thematic engagement with process, deconstruction, and the act of making itself.

Medium
Lithograph, etching and aquatint in colors, on three sheets of shaped Somerset paper, the full sheet.
