The work of Ree Morton (Ossining, NY, 1936 – Chicago, 1977) can be found in the specific art scene in the USA around 1970, characterised by a strong reaction to Abstract Expressionism, via Minimal art, on the one hand, and Conceptual art and Pop art on the other. Different hard-to-classify movements materialised and were defined by Lucy Lippard as ‘Eccentric Abstraction’, or, for instance, Post-minimalism and phenomenological and performative practices inclined towards ritualism, animism and the body.
