Saw this exhibition at the Hammer in LA and haven't been the same since. I had never heard of Lee Bontecou, but I know I'm better for having found out who she is/was. Unhindered vision!

i was a little obsessed after an intriguing new yorker profile on this artist. her work is like a post modern industrial, post civilization, yet beginning of civilization hybrid of living organism. it could be the beginning and ending of time just looking at her choices of matter, media, material in each piece. if that makes any sense?

An iconoclastic mixed media artist, Bontecou has been faithful to her vision for decades resulting in a singular ouevre that is really incomparable. Great images in this book that do justice to the breadth of her work, inspirational.

A beautiful book full of beautiful art from one of the most under-recognized artists of the 20th c. Bontecou's work is both entrancing and horrifying.
