Margaret Morrison

Margaret Morrison has been represented by Woodward Gallery since 1995. Currently this year, Morrison has a solo exhibition of her Paradigm Shift series at the UGA, Performing Arts Center in Athens, Georgia. She is highlighted in a group exhibition with Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Richard Hambleton, David Hockney and others in Eyes on the Road: Art of the Automotive Landscape at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Sotheby’s NY premiered Morrison in their Contemporary Discoveries auction this past March with a sale result three times its estimate!
