Flying Bye is the first exhibition in the UK of pioneering American painter Elizabeth Murray (b. 1940, Chicago, d. 2007). Drawing on works made through the 1980s and early 1990s, this landmark exhibition highlights a decade that saw her work grow in both scale and significance within the bourgeoning New York art scene. Though her art and life had a profound influence on several generations of artists both in the United States and beyond, Murray’s work has rarely been seen in Europe and her impact here is still too little-known.
