Sarah Morris

b. 1967

Sarah Morris is principally a painter but also produces films, photographs and drawings. Additionally, she has curated a number of exhibitions including the critically acclaimed “Hospital” at Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin.

In recent years, the artist has made a name for herself with her films and her constructivist, geometric paintings, as her paintings are related to or emerge from her films. She composes colorful, linear grids, often with steep perspectival elements, into an abstract matrix to evoke not only the energy and geometry of the urban landscape, but its psycho-social forces as well.

Born in the U.K. in 1967, Sarah Morris lives and works in New York and London. She attended Brown University, Cambridge University, and the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Program. She received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painting Award in 2001, and in 1999-2000 was an American Academy Award, Berlin Prize Fellow.
