A leading American sculptor of the twentieth century, Louise Nevelson was born in Kiev and immigrated to the United States as a child. Known especially for her sculptures of assembled wood and found objects, she also produced large-scale works late in her career, including a number of public commissions such as Louise Nevelson Plaza, an environment of seven sculptures in Lower Manhattan (1977). Nevelson drew inspiration from a broad array of artistic movements and styles, including cubism, surrealism, African art, Native American art, abstract expressionism, minimalism, action painting, and color-field painting. She was the subject of more than 135 solo exhibitions.
