{"product_id":"carol-bove","title":"Carol Bove","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarol Bove\u003c\/i\u003e presents new work by \"sculpture's woman of steel,\" as coined by Randy Kennedy in The New York Times. Her new sculptures expand on her investigations of materiality and form.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacterized by compositions of various types of steel, Bove's ongoing series of \"collage sculptures,\" begun in 2016, amalgamates theoretical and art-historical influences across time periods and disciplines. To create these lyrical and abstract assemblages, Bove pairs fabricated tubing that has been crushed and shaped at her studio with found metal scraps and a single highly polished disk. Luminous color is applied to parts of the composition, transforming the steel-more commonly associated with inflexibility and heft-into something that appears malleable and lightweight, like clay, fabric, or crinkled paper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBove's  new  works  are  smaller  in  scale  and  elaborate  on  the  \"collage  sculptures,\"  with  more  complex  forms  that  twist,  fold,  and  bend  into  postures that belie their material construction. Bove manipulates steel to varying degrees, rendering gentle folds in some, and extreme, almost anthropomorphic contortions in others. Their contrasting textures-matte, glossy, or rough-create a further sense of visual play, heightening the surface tension throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe publication features a new interview with the artist by Johanna Burton. Published on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Hong Kong in 2019, \u003ci\u003eCarol Bove\u003c\/i\u003e is available in both English only and bilingual English\/traditional Chinese editions.","brand":"David Zwirner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664996962340,"sku":"9781644230206","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781644230206.jpg?v=1773240613","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/carol-bove","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
