Carol Bove Disgusting Mattress

I was thrilled to see that Carol Bove‘s “Disgusting Mattress” made it into her fantastic installation at MoMA. The found object is now in its rightful place, on a pristine white plinth along with six other sculptures, overlooking the museum’s sculpture garden, as part of “The Equinox,” on view through January 12, 2014. Read more about Bove’s world, including the story behind the “Disgusting Mattress,” here.
