Dóra Maurer, Objectified Outline

Regular price £17.00GBP

Tax included.
In her early conceptual work, Objectified Outline (1981), Dóra Maurer explores the perception of the female body and its abstract form. This leporello fold features eight silver prints that depict chalk-painted outlines on a rotating woman's body, highlighting the abstract representation of femininity through Maurer’s unique perspective.

Born in 1937, Dóra Maurer is one of Hungary’s most influential artists. Her experimental practice as an artist, teacher, and curator spans over five decades, bringing together paintings and works on paper from various series that range from the late 1970s to the present day.

Absolved her studies in 1961 at the Painting and Graphic Faculties of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. Between 1975–77, she led the study circle Creativity Practices at Ganz-Mávag with Miklós Erdély. Alongside her own creative praxis, her pedagogical and organisational/curatorial work are important. She is active in a number of genres and media. Aside from paintings, she produces graphic work, photography, film and installations. Her series that employ geometry, colour theory and various theories of perception are at once playful experiments and scientific observations. Objectified Outline is her first publication with Kodoji Press.
