 Biography:  Please report missing Information

23.9.1899 Born in Kiev (US/*UA)

Louise Nevelson emigrated to the United States with her family in 1905 to settle in Rockland, Maine. In 1920, she moved to New York, and studied at the Art Student League. She also studied at the Hoffman in Munich, Germany. Nevelson's career began as an assistant to Diego Rivera, the famous Mexican artist. By the 1950s, she had begun making assemblages, a form of work Nevelson is well known for: shallow box-like units filled with industrial waste wood. By spraying these units a uniform color -- black, gold or silver -- she disguises the soft texture of wood to achieve a solid assemblage. Louise Nevelson showed at the Venice Biennale in 1962. She has since been widely viewed as one of the most important American artists of this century. She died in 1988.
