A Retrospective
The first major exhibition of the artist's work as a whole, Lee Bontecou: A Retrospective, includes sculptures and drawings by the American artist Lee Bontecou (b. 1931)-one of the leading figures of her generation. Bontecou created a strikingly original body of work that was critically acclaimed and actively collected during the 1960s and 1970s. The work she has created since that time, however, is little known and has never been publicly exhibited. The exhibition presents approximately 50 sculptures and 75 drawings that span several decades and provide an extraordinary opportunity to reevaluate the career of an artist who has become a legendary figure in the art world.
