An official Collateral Event of La Biennale, Persistence celebrates the 60th anniversary of Nevelson’s representation of the United States in the American Pavilion. It also coincides with the inclusion of the artist’s monumental 1968 sculpture, Homage to the Universe, in the Arsenale portion of Alemani’s main exhibition for La Biennale. In this talk, Alemani and Bryan-Wilson will discuss Nevelson’s inclusion in both exhibitions, and the broader significance of the artist’s work today. A pioneer of installation and environmental sculpture, Nevelson remains one of the key figures of twentieth-century American abstraction and has been represented by Pace Gallery since 1962. The program will be moderated by Oliver Shultz, Curatorial Director at Pace. Read More Courtesy The High Line.
