Guggenheim: Lee Ufan - Marking Infinity

Photo from Artnet.com

Reading and understanding Lee Ufan’s background aided in my understanding of the spirituality of his works.  I agree that his work does represent spirituality… in its simplicity and material use.  But it took quite some time for me to acknowledge that.  I realized long ago that my mind is not use to abstract art and I have a hard time accepting what I see.  Brush strokes and strategically placed pillows, stones, cotton and sheet metal do not excite my senses.  I am not entirely against abstract pieces but without the reading material posted by each piece in the Lee Ufan exhibit, it took me quite some time to digest what I saw, acknowledge and accept it.
