We are saddened by the passing of sculptor and printmaker Lee Bontecou (1931-2022). Bontecou rose to prominence in the 1960s burgeoning New York scene. She was one of four women artists included in The Museum of Modern Art’s survey “Americans 1963.” In the gallery dedicated to Bontecou, she contributed a selection of ominous ocular reliefs made from cast-off industrial materials, exemplified by the work currently on view in our exhibition “New York: 1962-1964.” 🎨: #LeeBontecou, “Untitled,” 1959
