Idelle Weber is closely associated with the Pop art movement of the 1960s, and Jump Rope includes many of Pop’s defining features: references to mainstream culture, the use of industrial materials employed in advertising, such as neon, and graphic flatness. Although her sculptures and paintings of silhouetted figures convey anonymity, there is an autobiographical element to Jump Rope. Weber made the work a decade after moving to New York City, but it was inspired in part by the ubiquitous presence of plastic and neon signage in Los Angeles, where she had attended school.

Wall label, 2021.
