Online Louise Nevelson Three Collages Dec 9 – Dec 30, 2020Sixty percent of all sales proceeds from this exhibition will benefit Nevelson Chapel's restoration and endowment. In support of the restoration of Nevelson Chapel in Midtown Manhattan, we're honored to present an exhibition of three exemplary collages by Louise Nevelson. Louise Nevelson, photography by Diana Mackowan © 2020 Estate of Louise Nevelson / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York One of the most significant American artists of the twentieth century, Louise Nevelson began producing collages in the mid-1950s. Inspired by her longstanding interest in Cubism and a correspondence with Jean Arp, these works signify an important turn in her approach to art, prompting her remark “the way I think is collage.”Made between 1977 and 1979, these three seminal collages represent, as Germano Celant noted in an essay complementing our exhibition of Nevelson's collages in 2015, "a sort of new archeology that uses the extraneousness of things, chairs or tables, crates or wooden decorations, to bring out a similarity between person and surroundings."On the design of Nevelson Chapel, also completed in 1977, the artist stated, “Being in a space that permits you to contemplate is like being in love. I meant to provide an environment that is evocative of another place, a place of the mind, a place of the senses.” In honor of Nevelson's generous spirit, sixty percent of the sales proceeds from this exhibition will benefit the restoration of Nevelson Chapel—the only remaining, permanent environment by the artist.
