Image description

In the early 1960s, Bontecou challenged artistic conventions through the creation of three-dimensional wall constructions that were neither sculpture nor painting, but a hybrid of the two forms. This piece is carefully constructed using found objects including aluminum, welded steel, wire, and various types of canvas. An ambiguous form, with a sporadic network of dark orifices, it alludes to a tension between the organic and the mechanical, the human body, and the savagery of war.
