Line A-C
Buky Schwartz
Description
Subject Matter:
Buky Schwartz was an Israeli who trained as a sculptor. In addition to his sculptures, he was well known for his video structures which combined video projections, painting, and structural objects. His work was a playful interaction between sculptural appearance and physical reality, according to Bill Judson, Curator of Film & Video, Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, on Schwartz's website. This piece is playful, as the line is really a snarl of colorful yarn, making it very sculptural in the dimensionality of the yarn. It also has elements of Conceptual art in the instructions for its creation in the stampled label at the top of the print indicating title, size, material, date, and place.
