As the first comprehensive U.S. survey of Judith Scott’s work, Judith Scott—Bound and Unbound includes an overview of three-dimensional objects spanning the artist’s career as well as a selection of works on paper. In fact, Scott made drawings and collages on paper from her earliest days at Creative Growth, months before starting to make three-dimentional objects.Typical in its repetitive, swirling linear gestures with multiple color variations, this particular work also includes three collaged faces cut from magazines or newsprint – the largest figure being C. Everett Koop, then Surgeon General of the United States. Scott was an avid collector of magazines and other printed matierals; she was known to keep magazines on her lap, flipping through them as a break from her work.Judith Scott (American, 1943‒2005).
