Elizabeth Murray in ‘Reinventing Abstraction’ at Cheim and Read Gallery

A dark geometric shape appears to do battle with two biomorphic entities in Elizabeth Murray’s 1982 canvas at Chelsea’s Cheim & Read Gallery.  Part of an exhibition showcasing abstract painting in the 80s, its attention-grabbing drama and size (over ten feet tall) excite the imagination.  (Through Aug 30th).
