A daring reassessment of Louise Nevelson, an icon of
twentieth-century art whose innovative procedures relate to
gendered, classed, and racialized forms of making In this radical
rethinking of the art of Louise Nevelson (1899–1988), Julia
Bryan-Wilson provides a long-overdue critical account of a
signature figure in postwar sculpture. A Ukraine-born Jewish
immigrant, Nevelson persevered in the male-dominated New York art
world. Nonetheless, her careful procedures of construction—in
which she assembled found pieces of wood into elaborate structures,
usually painted black—have been little studied. Organized around
a series of key operations in Nevelson’s own process (dragging,
coloring, joining, and facing), the book comprises four slipcased,
individually bound volumes that can be read in any order. Both form
and content thus echo Nevelson’s own modular sculptures, the
gridded boxes of which the artist herself rearranged. Exploring how
Nevelson’s making relates to domesticity, racialized matter,
gendered labor, and the environment, Bryan-Wilson offers a
sustained examination of the social and political implications of
Nevelson’s art. The author also approaches Nevelson’s
sculptures from her own embodied subjectivity as a queer feminist
scholar. She forges an expansive art history that places
Nevelson’s assemblages in dialogue with a wide array of
marginalized worldmaking and underlines the artist’s proclamation
of allegiance to blackness.
