Untitled

The idiosyncratic sculptural assemblages of Judith Scott consist of found objects bound with yarn and other materials. Having begun her career at the age of forty-five—after decades of confinement and limited opportunity—the artist had an exceptional aptitude for color, texture, and form.Her assemblages are wildly imaginative, demonstrating clear preferences for particular materials and recurring compositional forms. Works such as Untitled reveal her sensitivity to color, as described by her sister: “Judy had a tremendous sense of color, a love of color. If you look at her pieces, she used color in subtle and amazing ways.
