Seller's Description:
Louise Nevelson, was born in Kiev, Czarist Russia in 1899 and immigrated to the United States at the age of 6. Nevelson is known for using everyday found objects to create “assemblages” and expressionist “crates” which she groups together to form new creations. Nevelson has said that in creating her sculptures she brings other people’s garbage to life again: “When you put together things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life—a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.” Nevelson’s artwork can be found internationally at museums including The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan, the Musée national d'art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris France, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Tate Gallery in London, England. In 2009 the PaceWildenstein in New York City, held a retrospective of her work entitled “Louise Nevelson: Dawns and Dusks.” Nevelson’s most famous work "Dawn's Wedding Feast" was created in 1959 for the exhibition entitled, 'Sixteen Americans' at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The wood assemblage painted all white included four chapels, bride, groom, wedding cake, chest, mirror, pillow and various standing columns that were to represent guests. Ultimately, due to its enormity the piece had to be partitioned into 16 separate works in order to be sold.
