Since the mid-1990s, Sarah Morris’ portraits of American metropolises 
have garnered international acclaim. In both painting and film, 
Morris has explored the ways in which architecture and the urban 
environment reflect power dynamics and shape human interaction. 
Following portraits of New York, Washington, Miami, and Los Angeles, 
her newest paintings subject the city of Beijing, host of the 2008 
Summer Olympic Games, to scrutiny. Morris’ next film will document 
the Games and the rapidly changing city, focusing on architecture’s 
relationship to the state, and on the aesthetic tension between 
commercial and political.

Born in the U.K. in 1967, Sarah Morris lives in New York and London. Her 
work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Museum Boijmans van 
Beuningen, Rotterdam, 2006; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, 2005; Palais de Tokyo, 
Paris, 2005; Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, 2005; Kunstforeningen, 
Copenhagen, 2004; Miami MOCA, 2002; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, 
Washington, 2002; and Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, 2001. 
Commissioned by New York’s Public Art Fund, Robert Towne, her 
temporary installation at Lever House on Park Avenue, is currently on view. 
She is represented by Friedrich Petzel Gallery, New York, and White Cube, London.

This event is co-sponsored by the High Museum of Art
