Carol Bove's Guggenheim Retrospective Features Rediscovered Artists and New Sculptures
A retrospective exhibition of Carol Bove's work is currently on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, running through August 2. The show, curated by Katherine Brinson with assistance from Charlotte Youkilis and Bellara Huang, presents approximately 100 of Bove's sculptures and installations. It also includes works by other artists she champions, such as a drawing by the rediscovered 1950s-60s figure Lionel Ziprin, a piece by Arnaldo Pomodoro, and a previously hidden ceramic mural by Joan Miró and Josep Llorens Artigas. Bove's practice involves creating her own metal sculptures and assemblages while contextualizing them alongside historical influences, challenging conventional timelines and artistic authorship. The exhibition highlights her evolution from early book-based assemblages to large-scale steel 'glyphs' and recent colorful, monumental works.
