Catalogue Note
“Nevelson feels that she began making ‘her worlds’ as an alternative space, so to speak—to create for herself a fathomable reality in the midst of the outside chaos. What has happened, of course, is that the private has become public, the refuge accessible to all, and, to those who know what a Nevelson looks like, the world is beginning to resemble her art.” Edward Albee in Stretching My Mind, New York 2005, p. 80
