Louise Nevelson was one of the most important American sculptors of the twentieth century, whose works can be found in almost every museum in Europe and America fortunate to have obtained one. Her sculptures included wood assemblages typically painted in either jet black or, later, in white and gold as well, ranged in size from the samll and personal to the large and monumental, inviting viewers to observe a world into which they could not go but in which they often feared they had already been placed. Nevelson also made muliples, interpreting her sculptures as lead reliefs (one of which we still have) and working in various print media as well. For those who have the Baro catalogue raisonne of Nevelson's prints, The Prints of Louise Nevelson, we have the following catalogue numbers: Baro 6, 74, 83, 105, 110, 113, 118, and 119. We also have two large lithographs (each poart of an edition of 7 signed and numbered impressions) that Nevelson executed at the Tamarind Press in 1978-79. These have Tamarind numbers T78-657a and T78-660a. We also have two mixedmedia collage and aquatint prints that she made at 2RC in Rome.
