Nevelson's monumental, monochromatic assemblages of everyday objects speak to both material and feminist sensibilities
Ukrainian by birth and a naturalized US citizen, artist Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) anticipated the theme of recycling and memory through her work made of assembled objects and industrial scraps. By opposing the conventions traditionally imposed on the women of her time, she anticipated today's polarization regarding gender expectations and women's rights. This is the first volume in a new series from Silvana in concert with the Genesis Association that is dedicated to historical artists whose lives and/or work can be interpreted as prescient of the urgent social issues of today. It includes a critical text by the curator, Ilaria Bernardi and a chronology of Nevelson's life and key works accompanied by archival photographs and texts.
