Elizabeth Peyton
Encyclopedia
Elizabeth Joy Peyton is an American
painter who rose to popularity in the mid-1990s. She is a contemporary artist best known for stylized and idealized portraits of her close friends and boyfriends, pop celebrities, and European monarchy. Peyton lives and works in Long Island, New York and Berlin.
in 1965, Peyton began drawing people at a young age. Between 1984 and 1987, she studied fine arts at the School of Visual Arts
in New York City
.
She married fellow artist Rirkrit Tiravanija
in 1991. They separated in the late 1990s and divorced in 2004. They are both represented by Gavin Brown.
. She works most often in oil paint, but also in watercolour, pencil, and etching. Her paintings are characterized by elongated, slender figures with androgynous features. Sexually ambiguous, feminine qualities are regularly emphasised. Her work at times resembles fashion illustration. The artist, interviewed in the catalogue for the exhibition The Painter of Modern Life at the Hayward Gallery
in London
in 2007, has indeed acknowledged the importance of photography as an inspiration source for her art. She thus usually works from photographs. Her work is most often executed in oil paint, applied with washy glazes that are sometimes allowed or encouraged to drip. In addition, Peyton has created since the 1990s a broad range of prints, including monotypes, lithographs, woodcuts, and etchings. Experimenting with different techniques, she also uses a variety of diverse and handmade papers as well as various colored and monochromatic inks. Her portrayed subjects populate both her prints and paintings.
The idealization and stylization of known celebrities has led some critics to characterize her work as being in the tradition of Andy Warhol

. A painting of by Elizabeth Peyton appears on the 2010 compilation album The Best of Suede
. In her paintings, Peyton hardly ever depicts these often young artists and musicians standing, and she never visually associates them with an activity like making art or music; instead, they are portrayed sleeping, reclining, or sitting. More recently, however, Peyton has turned to the genre of the still life to explore its contemporary relevance.
In 2009, Peyton collaborated with Matthew Barney
on Blood of Two, an art project on the Greek island of Hydra.
. Ahead of its time, the exhibition of figurative paintings on glass was supported by art patrons Peter Jay Sharp, Ahmet Ertegun
, and Dan Lufkin. At the avant-garde Viafora Gallery, Peyton's work was followed by the first exhibition of Matthew Barney and other important artists of today.
Peyton's second exhibition in New York City was held in a room of the Hotel Chelsea
(mainly drawings) in 1993. People who wished to see the exhibition would just go to the reception of the hotel and ask for the room key; fewer than 50 people viewed Peyton's charcoal and ink drawings of Napoleon, Marie Antoinette and Queen Elizabeth II.
A mid-career exhibition of her work started at the New Museum of Contemporary Art
in New York City in October 2008. The first survey of Peyton's work in an American institution, the exhibition included her latest portraits, which revealed a greater emphasis on the psychology of the subject (such as Matthew Barney
or John Giorno
). The day following Barack Obama
's election to the U.S. presidency, a new painting (oil on linen), created in August 2008, was added to the exhibition, representing Michelle Obama
and her daughter at the 2008 Democratic National Convention
(see image on the Artinfo site as published on 11/5/08). The painting was commissioned by W magazine. Laura Hoptman, the curator of the New Museum show, decided that the portrait would only be put on view if Barack Obama
won the 2008 election, as the New Museum is a non-partisan institution.
Other solo exhibitions include the Royal Academy
in London, the Salzburger Kunstverein, the Deichtorhallen
in Hamburg, the Irish Museum of Modern Art
(2009) and “Ghost: Elizabeth Peyton,” presented concurrently at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum
and the Opelvillen in Rüsselsheim, Germany (2011). The second in a series of four Ring-inspired shows planned for Gallery Met in 2011, her show "Wagner" included works inspired by the composer’s Ring cycle.
Peyton has also been included in numerous group exhibitions around the world including Campo at the 1995 Venice Biennale
, Greater New York at MoMA PS1 in 2000, and the 2004 Whitney Biennial
