Objectified Outline - Dóra Maurer

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.
