Lee Bontecou

LEE BONTECOU "UNTITLED (STOCKHOLM)" 1970

$1,950

Lee Bontecou (b. 1931) is an important and unique contributor to American abstraction during the 20th century.

In the late 1950's, Bontecou began exhibiting innovative and radical wall mounted sculptures. Using an array of mostly discarded or utilitarian materials--including mail sacks or components from discarded machines--Bontecou created 3-dimensional works that were highly ambiguous and intriguing.

During the 1960's Bontecou exhibited at Leo Castelli's eponymous gallery alongside Frank Stella and other major artists. All three of these artists blurred the distinctions and definition between painting and sculpture. 

Voids are one of Bontecou's signature motifs - yet the meaning behind them is debated and contested. Are these metaphors for war, genitlia, or portals into a mysterious dimension? 

Like many sculptors of her generation, Bontecou created complimentary drawings and prints. This work is a paradigm of her practice, depicting an ocular element and a void. Executed in silver ink over a black page, this print is visually striking and has a depth that evokes the overarching themes within her oeuvre.

Over the last decade her work has been rediscovered by art historians, curators and collectors -- a similar phenomena to Louise Nevelson. There has been tremendous resurgence in her reputation and market. This is an ideal piece for a (young) collector interested in American abstraction, sculpture, or women artists.
