Subject Matter:

This print is part of a portfolio made in collaboration with Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) and Moderna Museet as a fundraising effort for American artists. Lee Bontecou is best known for her abstract sculptures, often made of industrial materials with cylindrical centers around an empty and fathomless hole. This print similarly features unknown and disc shaped objects that are suggestive of natural forms.
