Here is another review of her work from artdaily.com; I was unable to copy it to add here. I was actually hoping to find a really good review of her work on line, but I had to write up my own instead. But this one is okay.

This is a rather obtuse review from the Village Voice. Sometimes the critics get so convoluted I lose track of what they are saying. But I make reference to it for those who want as much breadth of opinion on Murrays work as possible.

Let me know if you want on or off this list.
Also let me know if I have opened your eyes to her work. Do you like it? Why or why not? (Also, keep in mind that the images I post here convey maybe 3% of what the power is like when you see the show.)

Do you know the title of that last Kandinsky work (with the bluish/purple background)?

You've made me color drunk today (a good thing). Could've done without the Kruger and Salle reminders, though--their kind of ham-fisted irony and smug, self-congratulatory dreck gets on my nerves in a major way. I would argue, too, that Kruger is more designer than artist, better suited to magazine covers than gallery or museum walls. Salle, of course, wears his angst-ridden sarcasm like a second skin. Who would've thought these celebrated Eighties icons would become so dated and hackneyed so soon after? Warhol, although a kind of one-trick-pony insofar as his consumerism/mass production themes are concerned, still holds up. At least he had something to say, and said it with originality and wit.
