Carol Bove

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carol Bove (born 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland) is a New York City based artist and collector.

Her work includes drawings and installations which concern the social, political, and artistic movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Ink drawings of nude women taken from "Playboy" magazines from this time period or inspired by a vintage Newsweek picture of Twiggy, or sculptures made up of bookshelves with books from the same time are examples of Bove's work.
