Description
Louise Nevelson's life (1899– 1988) and work are a story in sculpture. The story is a weaving together and intermingling of several histories: her personal history as a woman artist, the history of Jewish migration to this country, and the history of 20th-century art, including major movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Minimalism.Although Nevelson's work has been celebrated in numerous retrospectives, The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson: Constructing a Legend is the first comprehensive presentation of her work that includes her works on paper, which are intrinsic to her sculptural output. This exhibition, organized by The Jewish Museum, New York, features more than 70 objects, including both sculpture and works on paper.
