Lee Bontecou by Elizabeth A T Smith
Lee Bontecou became widely known early in the 1960s for her welded steel sculptures into which various fabrics, metals and found objects were incorporated. By the mid-1960s she began to experiment with plastics, epoxy and other synthetic materials to create moulded rather than assembled forms. As her work evolved, it increasingly made reference to naturalistic phenomena, evoking biological life - an interest that was also manifest in her earliest cast sculptures of birds and animals. This monograph is a major survey of Bontecou's work and provides an opportunity to re-evaluate the career of the artist.
