A number of works from Bill Bollinger’s estate were recently discovered in a farmhouse attic and a warehouse in Upstate New York. They are mainly drawings and visual documents that the artist had left there in storage. This exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein gives an initial insight into these finds, now going on display for the first time.
Bill Bollinger (1939, Brooklyn–1988, Pine Plains, NY) was among the pioneering sculptors of his time. However, after the mid-1970s his oeuvre slipped into a long obscurity and was only rediscovered thanks to the retrospective staged at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein; ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien, Karlsruhe; the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh; and the Sculpture Center, New York, in 2011–12.
