Lee Bontecou Aging & Adult Development and Lee SiegelThe first survey of more than fifty years of drawing by a legendary sculptor and draftswoman Lee Bontecou (b. 1931) established a significant reputation in the 1960s with pioneering sculptures and reliefs made of raw and expressionistic materials. Her art is simultaneously organic and mechanical, and infused with biological, geological, and technological motifs. These same qualities also animate a less known but compelling body of work: her drawings.
