Bill Bollinger

Why this artist matters now

Bill Bollinger (1939) made sculpture that placed him at the center of the American minimalist and postminimalist movements of the late 1960s. Working in the same critical orbit as Bruce Nauman, Robert Smithson, Eva Hesse, and Richard Serra, his practice engaged the formal and material concerns that defined that generation's reconsideration of what sculpture could be. His work occupied the productive tension between minimal structure and the expressive, often provisional quality associated with postminimalism.
