The Murray-Holman Family, Sue Scott and Kristi Zea are pleased to announce the Friends of Elizabeth Murray Art Auction to benefit the documentary feature film "Everybody Knows… Elizabeth Murray".

From former studio assistants, to students, to those artists who she considered to be her core group of friends, this silent auction reveals the vast network of people that Elizabeth Murray touched through her life and work.

Since 2005, the year of Murray’s MoMA Retrospective and unfortunate diagnosis with cancer, longtime friend Kristi Zea has been gathering archival footage, moments of the artist at work, as well as exclusive interviews with art world luminaries such as Arne Glimcher, Agnes Gund and Glenn Lowry. Robert Storr, the curator of her MoMA retrospective, contends: “It’s time we think of [Murray] as a central painter, a crucial painter.” Everybody Knows… Elizabeth Murray will explore how, from MoMA to the Met, Murray’s fractured canvases are monuments to a dynamic female presence in the contemporary art world.

All proceeds of Friends of Elizabeth Murray Art Auction will go towards the completion of filming and post-production costs for Everybody Knows… Elizabeth Murray, due to be released in 2010. A clip of the film will be shown at the auction.

The auction will be held April 25th 6-9pm
After Party TBA

The works will be available for preview April 24-25, 11-6pm.

Private viewings are available upon request. Phone and email bidding is available.
