Carol Bove: Collage Sculptures presents an extensive look into the
contemporary artist's work over the past five years and her ongoing
exploration of scale, color, material, and artistic traditions of
the twentieth century. Bove's recent work engages the conceptual
concerns of mid-century sculpture, such as spontaneity, industrial
materials, and the potential of painted sculpture. However, within
this space of familiar sculptural traditions, Bove has discovered
new approaches that lead to places previously unknown. Bove's
"collage sculptures" are created from scrap metal and stainless
steel that has been carefully worked into sinuous forms and are
frequently painted. Considering the hard rigidity of the steel, the
works possess an appearance of almost impossible softness, as if
steel could become as pliable as clay. Such works range from small
pedestal sculptures to large, imposing compositions. Bove's
interest in scale and how a viewer's understanding of an artwork
shifts depending on its context are explored through a selection of
small works from the collection of the Nasher Sculpture Sculpture.
Published by the Nasher Sculpture Center, the catalogue features
beautiful reproductions of Bove's work and an introduction as well
as an essay by curator Catherine Craft on the development of the
collage sculptures and their relationship to other artists and
traditions of modern sculpture. Also included is an essay by Lisa
Le Feuvre that explores Bove's complex work by means of a thematic
alphabet related to the artist's interests.
