Dóra Maurer once said that the central theme of her work is "movement and the conceptual and factual effects of shifts". As her extensive oeuvre since the late 1960s shows, movement and displacement are always related to systemicity and structurality. The starting point of a certain, previously established system and the subsequent discovery of unforeseen deviations and breaks in this double characterizes the process that Maurer has realized in a variety of ways from her early graphic works to what she calls shifts to the "quasi-pictures" of the 1980s and 90s, developed from spatial painting.
