LACMA's 'Call and Response' connects Betye Saar's sketches to her sculptures — and shows how an ironing board is so much more than an ironing board.
In size, “Betye Saar: Call and Response” is a modest show. Just 18 sculptures and collages, plus a selection of sketches, are tucked into a single small gallery at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Resnick Pavilion.that was launched six decades ago. Since then, her work has been seen in more than 80 solo shows in galleries and museums.
Take “I’ll Bend But I Will Not Break” , a reflective installation assemblage that was born of a chance encounter at a rummage sale with a vintage ironing board. According to the catalog by LACMA curator Carol S. Eliel — spiral-bound, like Saar’s sketchbooks — the artist found the object at a Pasadena City College flea market. Something about it sparked the artist’s imagination, setting off a chain reaction.
“But I Will Not Break” describes another black woman — Saar herself, engaged in the labor of making a work of art.
