Lucas SamarasBoxes and Reconstructions

Assemblage box sculptures from the 1960s to 1980s alongside never-before-seen sewn-fabric Reconstructions from 1979.

Samaras’s boxes, begun in the early 1960s, are compartmented structures to which he attached photographs, cutlery, mirrors, yarn, feathers and other found objects with liquid aluminum and plaster. The selection runs from the hinged Box #5 to the Cor-ten steel Stiff Box #14 and Box #133.

They are shown with hand-sewn fabric works from the 1979 Reconstructions series, drawn from the artist’s own collection and exhibited here for the first time.
