"Ree Morton, whose practice was cut tragically short in 1977 when she died in a car accident, is prominent in Los Angeles this month. At Overduin and Kite, dealer Kristina Kite, who wrote her grad school thesis on Morton’s work, carefully chooses early pieces that are clever and subtly humorous. “See-Saw,” from 1974, consists of a long wooden plank balancing on a tree stump, circled by glittered blocks; it describes something between a ritualistic arena and a playground. A related exhibition, “For Ree” at Marc Foxx, showed later pieces by Morton alongside works by living artists who draw inspiration from her (including a brilliant piece by Amanda Ross Ho). Unfortunately, you just missed it."
