Copyright© Estate of Ree MortonMore Information
Ree Morton was a conceptual artist active in the 1960s and until her premature death at the age of forty. Her work, in drawings, sculpture, and textiles, is often concerned with spaces, enclosures and boundaries, and may include - as here - dotted lines delineating outside from inside. Morton came to Oberlin in the spring of 1973 when her work was part of an exhibition at the Allen, and this drawing was purchased by museum curator and professor Ellen Johnson at that time.
