An Untitled Print
<p>The largest and most ambitious print of Bontecou’s career, the magisterial <em>An Untitled Print</em> was made from 14 plates and rivals her sculptures, if only in size. This offset lithograph was produced from metal plates instead of lithographic stones; the image on the plates was transferred (“offset”) to a rubber blanket or roller before being printed onto paper.</p>

Sculpture
The work of abstract sculptor Lee Bontecou evades easy categorization. Although not affiliated with any artistic movement, her objects share similarities with Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism and evoke early Cubist sculpture. Her sculptures are typically defined by dark cavernous voids at their centers, and posses an industrial, seemingly mechanical aesthetic.
