Catalogue Note
“… Peyton’s portraits are equally invested in original employment of form and colour, a tension between abstraction and figuration, and relations of history and art history as well as the particulars of her era" (Sabine Eckmann, Ghost: Elizabeth Peyton, Ostfildern-Ruit 2011, p. 147).
