This is the American Artist Elizabeth Murray. It turns out she and I love the same painting. Actually a lot of what she says in this very short clip resonates with me. It makes me wish I had known her.
Excavation was done by William de Kooning in 1950. This painting is an example of de Kooning's complex and dense style. Like many Ab Ex artists of this time, de Kooning's painting reflects a synthesis of Cubism and Surrealism. You can claw your way though the images in this work, uncovering layer after layer of meaning (hence the title).
