Lee Bontecou walkthrough September 10, 2004 | Archives We bid farewell to MoMA QNS last evening, with our final event: a walkthrough of Lee Bontecou: A Retrospective. Some of the most original work I’ve ever seen, Bontecou’s sculptures, drawings, and I suppose painting-sculptures are executed with painstaking craftsmanship, often using unique materials, including soot and many found objects. Curator Lilian Tone spoke of Bontecou’s influential role in the artworld in the 60s and 70s, inspiring artists like Donald Judd, who has written laudatory articles on Bontecou. Although Bontecou has not shown for nearly 30 years by choice, she has continued to create work dealing with a consistent iconography but in new manifestations and equally as curious. MoMA QNS closes its doors on September 27, and I would encourage anyone who has not seen this show to make it a priority, as there is nothing else like it showing in New York.
