Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana. Notes: A native New Orleanian and long-time Chicago resident, Florsheim did not begin to study art until she was well into her 50s. Her earliest works were colorful abstract paintings, though she also experimented with vaguely figural sculpture. It was not until a fortuitous collaboration revealed the potential of plastics. She began to work with Lucite and plexiglass, creating increasingly complex sculptures of layered geometric forms. As with the lots offered here, she explored the myriad possibilities of the circle, preferring stark clear, white, or black. In 1970, she had an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
