FreedmanArt is pleased to present, Lee Bontecou: Recent Work: Sculpture and Drawing, opening on Thursday, October 27, 2011
The exhibition features four newly completed hanging sculptures, in context with approximately fifteen works on paper. Additionally, there will be two special floor installations of “sandpits”, originally created, and transferred directly from the artist’s studio. Suspended in space, the four abstract hanging sculptures incorporate both organic and figurative references as seen in her earlier work. Composed of intricate networks of wire mesh, porcelain and canvas, they build and expand on Bontecou’s continuing investigation of the natural, out of nature, as well as by the hand made.
