More on Murray

Here's a quick link to an appreciation of Elizabeth Murray that I produced today for Time.com. One thing I didn't have space to mention there was that in her last years Murray's work continued to evolve in fascinating ways, and that some of her final works, madly complex polyptychs, were among her most inventive. If you happen to be in New York in the next month you can see one prime example from 2005, called Do the Dance, a churning, intricate jitterbug of a painting. (With maybe a whiff of Kenny Scharf to it.) It's in the very enjoyable summer show at MOMA called "What is Painting?" The show runs through September 17.
