Ms. O’Boyle’s bold taste is also reflected in her impressive collection of Modern & Contemporary paintings. It contains an array of paintings and sculptures by American artists of the 20th century such as Louise Nevelson, the pioneer of installation art in the 20th century. Ms. O’Boyle owned two of her wellknown wooden sculptures painted in monochromatic black, which she acquired from Pace Gallery in New York City. Bonnie’s appeal for chromatic expression is also mirrored in the work of Op Art artist Richard Anuszkiewicz, “Untitled VIII” (illustrated, right), which showcases the artist’s concern with the optical changes caused by intense colors applied in similar geometric shapes. Similarly, Carroll Cloar’s “The Big House in Big Flat” and Cristina Vergano’s “Waiting for the Rain”, showcase O’Boyle’s ongoing fascination for visual experimentation, often of a Surrealist nature, which she explored through the two artists’ take on American Folklore, Southern landscape and childhood memories.
