Elizabeth Murray Dies at 66

Published: August 13, 2007
Elizabeth Murray has died of complications from lung cancer at the age of 66, reports the New York Times. The abstract painter, whose four-decade career was honored in a sprawling retrospective at MoMA last year—one of few in the museum's history devoted to a female artist—was best known for her bright, oddly shaped canvases, which took on love, domestic life, and painting itself.
