Louise Nevelson (19001988) was a towering figure in postwar American art, exerting great influence with her monumental installations, innovative sculptures made of found objects, and celebrated public artworks. The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson focuses on all phases of the artists remarkable ascent to the top of the art world, from her groundbreaking works of the 1940s to complex pieces completed in the late 1980s. The most extensive study of Nevelson to be published in over 20 years, this beautifully illustrated book also demonstrates how Nevelsons flamboyant style and carefully cultivated persona enhanced her reputation as an artist of the first rank.Essays by distinguished scholars examine a wide variety of important issues and themes throughout Nevelsons career, including the role of monochromatic color in her painted wooden sculpture; the arthistorical context of her work; her acclaimed largescale commissioned artworks, which established her as a central figure in the public art revival of the late 1960s; and her selffashioning as a celebrated artist, particularly her origins as a Ukrainianborn Jewish immigrant to the United States. An illustrated chronology and exhibition history accompany the text.Published in conjunction with the first major exhibition of Nevelsons work in America since 1980, this book provides essential information on and insights into the study of a revolutionary 20thcentury artist.
