Hardcover. Condition: As new. Quarto. Hardcover. Matte illustrated boards. 144 pages : chiefly illustrations (chiefly color) ; 29 cm. "Lee Bontecou (b. 1931) established a significant reputation in the 1960s with pioneering sculptures and reliefs made of raw and expressionistic materials. Her art is simultaneously organic and mechanical, and infused with biological, geological, and technological motifs. These same qualities also animate a less-known but compelling body of work: her drawings. Ranging from her early soot on paper works created using powder from a welding torch to recent drawings in pencil and colored pencil that evoke cosmoses and microcosmic worlds, this stunning book is the first retrospective survey of Bontecou's consistently innovative drawings. More than sixty full-color plates, populated by imagery ranging from black voids to mechanomorphs to hybrid descendants of teeth, plants, and fish, are complemented by original essays from leading scholars who explore themes such as the drawings' historical contexts, Bontecou's use of the iconography of the void, and the eco-apocalyptic themes of an artist who came of age in the roiling political atmosphere of the 1960s."--Publisher's website.

Artist Lee Bontecou (b. 1931) became widely known in the 1960s and 1970s for her welded steel sculptures and plastic molded assemblages--powerful constructions that evoked natural phenomena and organic biological life as well as machines and instruments of war. This book reevaluates the career of this highly influential artist and focuses not only upon the impact of her early work but also on the import she has exerted on a generation of younger artists. Featuring some 50 sculptures and more than 100 drawings from the late 1950s to 2003, the book presents four essays that reposition Bontecou's work within the history of recent art, examine its shifting critical reception, discuss the artistic context in which her work was made, and analyze how science underpinned some of her earliest explorations. Contents as follows: All freedom in every sense / Elizabeth A.T. Smith -- Seek and hide / Robert Storr -- Lee Bontecou / Donald Judd -- Lee Bontecou's worldscapes / Mona Hadler -- Inner and outer space : Bontecou's sculpture through drawing / Donna De Salvo.
