Acquired from the above by the present owner

One of the most celebrated and innovative female artists of her time, Louise Nevelson’s monumental, monochromatic, found object sculptures have stunned and captivated viewers for decades. While she began her career in the 1930s, it wasn’t until her 1958 exhibition Moon Garden Plus One at Grand Central Moderns Gallery in New York that Nevelson received critical acclaim for her work. Though often classified as a Neo-Dadaist assemblage artist among the ranks of Joseph Cornell, Robert Rauschenberg and Lucas Samaras, Nevelson’s oeuvre defies one specific categorization.
