During the 1970s, Murray (1940-2007) challenged Minimalism, deconstructing and rebuilding her compositions through overlapping geometric forms and curving lines, loosely informed by mathematics. Similar drawings from this period featuring layered, dynamic forms were sold at Sotheby's, New York, October 6, 1992, lot 142, and Bonhams, Los Angeles, October 25, 2017, lot 1029.
