New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “Carol Bove” with Katherine Brinson

Carol Bove will be the first museum survey and largest presentation to date of the work of American artist Carol Bove. The exhibition will trace pivotal shifts across Bove’s 25-year career, ranging from her early drawings to a new, monumental series of her scrap metal and steel tubing compositions known as “collage sculptures.” The artist will also orchestrate a series of design interventions that subtly inflect the experience of navigating Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic rotunda, reflecting her longstanding interest in the way objects and images are transformed by their surroundings.

Bove’s inventive practice spans many mediums and formal approaches but is unified by an exacting play of material, scale, color, and space. She places these elements in dialogue with cultural histories and the viewer’s imagination to create the conditions for a resonant perceptual encounter—one that will function, in the words of the artist, as “a way of opening the world.”
