Elizabeth Murray at Pace Gallery

This 1989-90 pair of shoes by Elizabeth Murray features chimney-like shapes and keyholes, bringing to mind two houses (representing a couple?) bound by a tangled set of orange laces.  On loan from MoMA, ‘Dis Pair’ is a highlight of Pace Gallery’s exhibition of Murray’s raucous, street-inspired painting from the 80s. (On view in Chelsea through Jan 13th).

Elizabeth Murray, Dis Pair, oil and plastic cap on canvas (two parts), 10’ 2 ½ inches x 10’ 9 ¼ inches, 1989-90. Installation at Pace Gallery, Nov – Dec 2017.
