Carol Bove: Ten Hourspresents new work by sculptures woman of steel, as coined by Randy Kennedy inThe New York Times. Her new sculptures expand on her investigations of materiality and form.

Characterized by compositions of various types of steel, Boves 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 steelmore commonly associated with inflexibility and heftinto something that appears malleable and lightweight, like clay, fabric, or crinkled paper.

This publication features a new interview with the artist by Johanna Burton.
