From the Arts and Culture Unit
I don't follow the fine art world too closely, and upset that I'm only now discovering the work of Lee Bontecou after her passing this week thanks to the rush of interest to remember her and her work.
There is a nice write up about here in the NYTimes here: LINK
Blurring the line between what is a painting and what is a sculpture, there's an industrial beauty to her sculptures. They remind me of the organic shapes machines and factories can sometimes exhibit as they try to accomplish processes that were born in nature.
She really was a nexus of universes, using her art to show us something only she knew about.
