| The Museum of Modern Art presents Lee Bontecou: A Retrospective, the most comprehensive exhibition ever assembled of the work of Lee Bontecou (b. 1931). The artist received early acclaim for her meticulously handcrafted, wall reliefs of welded steel and canvas, which blurred the distinctions between painting and sculpture. The exhibition features 53 sculptures and 52 drawings from private and public collections as well as from the artist's own holdings. It documents the complexity and scope of Bontecou's art from the late 1950s through 2000, and includes many works from the past 30 years that have rarely or never before been publicly shown. Arranged loosely by chronology, the exhibition provides an unprecedented look at Bontecou's oeuvre within the context of its interweaving and recurring motifs, personal and universal themes, and masterful use of materials. During the past three decades, working from her studio in rural Pennsylvania Bontecou produced a significant body of sculptures and drawings that are shown alongside seminal earlier works. Although often abstract, these works reveal Bontecou's unique artistic vocabulary of forms, from her earlier pieces featuring dark openings-suggestive of mystery, violence, nature, and the cosmos-to a pronounced ecological emphasis in her sculptures of flowers and fish, to her recent preoccupation with forms resembling celestial bodies. As one of the leading visual artists of her generation, Bontecou created a strikingly personal body of work that was critically acclaimed during the 1960s and 1970s. One of a small number of women artists to receive broad recognition in the 1960s, Bontecou was included in Brazil's 1961 Sxo Paulo Bienal and the 1964 Documenta III in Kassel, Germany, where she was one of very few women included.
