I have never been a huge fan of Bontecou’s but I so enjoyed this small exhibit of works on paper and sculptures. Best-known for her wall sculptures made from old conveyor belts stitched together, these works allow a more intimate view of the artist’s creations. Often made with soot, the drawings are otherworldly and less “gas-mask-like” then her familiar sculptural work. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a delicate mobile that casts shadows on the base below as it slowly moves. The show is well worth seeing on a visit to MoMA.
