Summary:

"One of the leading figures in late twentieth-century art, Lee
Bontecou (b. 1931) became widely known for her sculptures in welded
steel and canvas, as well as epoxy and plastic, from the 1960s and
1970s. These powerful and original objects, which have been both
critically acclaimed and actively collected, incorporate a variety of
figurative, organic, and mechanistic references, suggesting states of
transformation between the natural and the man-made, order and chaos,
delicacy and ferocity." "This monograph presents reproductions of
more than fifty sculptures and one hundred drawings, including her
celebrated early works as well as later pieces that are little known
and have never been publicly exhibited or published. Along with
original essays by Elizabeth A. T. Smith, Robert Storr, Mona Hadler,
and Donna De Salvo, this volume also includes a reprint of Donald
Judd's influential 1965 Arts Magazine article on Bontecou."--BOOK
