Author: Nevelson, Louise
Despite occupying a significant portion of Louise Nevelson’s creative output, her collages still today remain largely unexplored, with only a few publications and essays dedicated to them – though her work is part of the lineage of avant-garde collage in modern art. This book gathers an extensive collection of these collages alongside essays by Yuval Etgar and Pia Gottschaller, and a conversation between Gió Marconi and Maria Nevelson.The fact that this body of work was exhibited only on rare occasions during her lifetime (and always alongside sculpture) is undoubtedly a factor in the delay of full scholarship on the subject. Nonetheless, Nevelson was often quoted commenting that 'the way I think is collage', and already by 1960, Jean Arp declared in one of his poems that 'Louise Nevelson has a grandfather, probably without knowing it: Kurt Schwitters.'
ISBN 9788867495177. Mousse Publishing . hb. 568 pages. 272 colour, 5 b/w ills. 24 x 17cm.
