A remarkable artist from the New York art scene! Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) devoted herself to a wide variety of artforms and became a virtually unrivalled master in collage. Featuring more than fifty artworks, this volume celebrates her unique oeuvre, which will also be honoured with a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in the winter of 2025-26.



Searched for on the street and then implemented in her work: Louise Nevelson groups different materials into novel visual worlds. With surprising uses of colour and original forms, Nevelson brings together materials to create surprising objects - minimalist yet overflowing, sensitive, reserved, and experimental. She invites viewers to continually search for, find, and recognise new elements in her collages. Through dense imagery, it becomes breathtakingly clear why she enjoyed such great success in the United States during her lifetime.
