Description
Measures 9.75 x 4.5 x 2.75. Provenance from Pace Gallery stickered on bottom. Signed on bottom. Louise Nevelson was born in Kiev, Russia. Her family moved to the United States in 1905, and in 1920 she moved to New York City and began studying at the Art Students League in 1929. Using old pieces of wood, found objects, she constructed huge walls, enclosed box arrangements of complex and rhythmic abstract shapes. Examples of Nevelson\'s work are in 50 museums including the Whitney, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Her first one-woman show was at the Karl Nierendorf Gallery in NYC in 1941. She had solo exhibitions at the Norlyst and Nierendorf Galleries from 1943 to 1944. In later years she studied printmaking and experimented with marble and terra-cotta. Her fame came about from her show \"Ancient Games and Ancient Places\" at Grand Central Moderns. This led to a series of wooden assemblages. She is considered one of the most important American sculptors. Louise Nevelson died in 1988 at the age of 88.
