LEEBONTECOU: A Retrospective Co-organizedby the Museumof ContemporaryArt, Chicago, and the UCLAHammer Museum

OCTOBER5, 2003 - JANUARY11, 2004

One of the leading figures of late twentieth-century art, Lee Bontecou (b. 1931) became widely known in the 1960s and 70s for her welded steel sculptures. Described by fellow artist Donald Judd as "explicit and power­ ful," the three-dimensional forms are "neither painting nor sculpture."

This exhibition is the first in-depth retrospective of Bontecou's to present not only the celebrated early work but also her lesser-known later work, including pieces only recently completed. Among these are large but ethe­ real hanging pieces, painstakingly crafted by hand and evocative of con­ stellations and galaxies. Most of this work is on view here for the first time.

Her powerful and original constructions incorporate a variety of figurative, BONTECOUPROGRAMS Lecture organic, and mechanistic references, suggesting states of transformation GalleryTalk MysteriousSpaceframes: between the natural and the man-made, order and chaos, delicacy and Thursday,October 30, 6pm Bontecou's Work Then and Now ferocity.
