Born Peter John Murray in London in 1920, he died in 1992 in Farnborough (near Banbury), Warwickshire, United Kingdom.
Peter Murray was Professor of History of Art at Birkbeck, University of London, from 1967 to 1980, and one of the principal founder members of the Association of Art Historians.
He was responsible for establishing history of art as an undergraduate discipline in the College, following Sir Nikolaus Pevsner's teaching of the subject outside a departmental structure.
When he died in 1992, his widow Linda Murray (a distinguished art historian in her own right) established a Bequest to provide funds for student support, research travel and other activities in the then Department of History of Art.
One of these activities has been the biennial Murray Memorial Lecture, which has been delivered by such notable figures as Jonathan Miller, Simon Schama, Neil Macgregor and Christopher Fraying.
The Murray Bequest also supports the Murray Research Studentship.
