Museum of Modern Art to Present Elizabeth Murray Retrospective 'Painters Progress' in March 2026
The Museum of Modern Art in New York presents Elizabeth Murray: Painters Progress from March 4, 2026 to May 25, 2026. The exhibition features a selection of works spanning more than 20 years of Murray's career, including Painters Progress from 1981. Murray fractured and layered canvases to add dimension and movement, often depicting distorted everyday objects such as cups and paintbrushes. The presentation is dedicated to the memory of Agnes Gund.
The Signal
The show underscores Murray's influence on contemporary painting through her innovative approach to form and composition. Collectors and curators may note the institutional focus on her shattered-shape works as a benchmark for assessing similar Post-War abstraction in the market. Gladstone Gallery's distribution of the release signals ongoing estate and gallery support for Murray's legacy across its New York, Brussels, and Seoul locations.
