Louise Nevelson - Atmosphere & Environment X

Louise Nevelson - ( 1899 - d. 1988, New York) was a Ukrainian-born American artist.

 

Nevelson is known for her abstract expressionist “boxes” grouped together to form a new creation. She used found objects or everyday discarded things in her “assemblages” or assemblies, one of which was three stories high: ”When you put together things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.

 

This sculpture is located on the Princeton University campus.
