Carol Bove
Carol Bove (born 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland) is a New York City-based artist and collector. She lives and works in Brooklyn.[1]
Early life and education
Born in 1971 in Geneva to American parents, Bove (pronounced bo-VAY)[2] was raised in Berkeley, California, and studied at New York University.[3]
Work
Using a wide range of materials, including books, driftwood, peacock feathers, metal, concrete, foam, and loans from other artists,[3] Bove’s 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.
In her exhibitions, Boves sometimes includes the work of other artists. For a 2007 show at Maccarone, she used work by artist Bruce Conner, Berkeley book dealer Philip Smith, and painter Wilfred Lang.[4]
Exhibitions
Since she started exhibiting in the late 1990s, Bove’s work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2010); Horticultural Society of New York (2009); Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas (2006); Kunsthalle Zürich; Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (both 2004); and the Kunstverein Hamburg (2003).[3]
Bove's work is jointly represented by Maccarone, New York, and David Zwirner, New York.
