Louise Nevelson’s monumental and delicate grids are painted combinations of found objects (often literal trash strewn in front of her Spring Street studio in New York City). These looming beings transform and, as she says, “extend our awareness” of what makes a work of art. More like Cubist altars than paintings or sculptures, they create order out of chaos and present minimalist, girded landscapes of unseen interior spaces and emotional structures.
