Louise Nevelson

1964

Text reprint by William C. Seitz

Made to accompany a solo exhibition of work by Louise Nevelson at Pace in 1964, this book features photographs of sculptures and wall works from that year—some reproduced on transparent or metallic paper.

A reprinted text by art historian William C. Seitz is paired with a chronology of the artist’s career. Nestled inside an envelope, the book’s textured cover is made of black velvet with a cut-out, formally echoing Nevelson’s sculptures.

Choosing pieces as she works, Nevelson responds to form rather than origin or identity, and as elements are related to each other the particular is absorbed into the universal.

The organization of the whole Wall, however, is additive and open, like that of epic poetry or Gothic architecture, with a potentiality for expansion that is almost perniciously without limit.
