Dóra Maurer

to her 'displacement' canvases and most recent large-scale paintings which explore how geometric forms are affected by colour and colour perception, this publication will reveal Maurer's persistent experimentation with production processes and her innovative take on traditional techniques.
Maurer (b. 1937, Budapest) often examines the movement of markings left by different materials and production processes. Her works, be they photographs, graphic work or films, share a preoccupation with structure, relativity of perception and exploration of the medium's limits. Essays include an introductory overview by Tate curator Juliet Bingham; Klara Kemp- Welch examines Maurer's early works and pedagogical activities between 1975-7; Carly Whitefield writes on the artist's film works and the state-run Balázs Béla Studió; and Dávid Fehér surveys the artist's practice from the 1980s to the present day.
