Carol Bove’s Chimes at Midnight VIII, 2023, is a monumental sculpture installed at the entrance to the Hessel Museum that combines salvaged and repurposed Corten steel elements with vibrant, powder-coated, red-orange crushed-shaped forms. The work is a forward-looking nod to her modernist counterparts and suggests she is both a happy journey(wo)man of modernist tropes and perhaps in defiance of its strict dictates.
