Louise Nevelson

Louise Nevelson, a leading sculptor of the twentieth century, pioneered site-specific and installation art with her monochromatic wood sculptures made of box-like structures and nested objects. Born in the Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine), she emigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. Louise Nevelson is having a major exhibition at Procuratie Vecchie, Piazza San Marco during the Biennale. Nevelson was a Ukrainian artist supported by Arne Glimcher.
