Description

Dóra Maurer is a conceptual multimedia artist known for her printmaking, photography, film, painting and installation. She graduated in 1961 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. Besides her own artistic practice, Maurer’s pedagogical and curatorial work is also important. Her prints foreground the visual nature of the print itself, which besides documenting the condition of a reality is also a visual object on its own. Most of Maurer's prints were created from events which the artist experienced, whether it is natural phenomena she observed, or changes in materials, or experiments with motion. She articulates these observations in her prints. The current lithography is a reflection of shapes, just as the title states it. The layers of grids in different colours are reflected and this is the situation which the artist examined. She had a solo exhibition at Tate Modern in 2019 and recently a retrospective at the Haus Konstruktiv Museum in Zürich in 2021.
