One Work: Diane Simpson's "Two Point Enclosure"

I recently wrote a “One Work” piece for Art in America on Diane Simpson’s old-but-new-again sculpture, Two Point Enclosure (2020). The work is one of three the artist produced for her current exhibition at JTT in New York, Point of View, from drawings made between 1980 and 1981, at the outset of her late-blooming career. Originally realized as part of a series of cardboard sculptures but never exhibited, Enclosure is here revived in a new material—the sturdier but equally utilitarian particle board.

Read it over at Art in America.

Point of View is on view at JTT through November 13, 2021.
