Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) was, with Calder, Noguchi and David
Smith, one of the great American sculptors of the 20th century. She
created extraordinary work, from room-size installations composed
of boxes to gnarled and majestic steel structures. Her life story
is no less interesting. She was born in czarist Russia, but her
family emigrated to the States and she grew up in Maine. Nevelson
endured a repressive marriage to a New York millionaire, whom she
escaped to pursue the life of an artist. She gained recognition as
an abstract sculptor at the age of 59, and spent the next 30 years
taking the art world by storm, becoming a colourful New York
personality and minor celebrity. Laurie Wilson, who knew Nevelson
personally, draws extensively on her own research in this crisp new
biography. She conducted interviews not just with Nevelson but with
her siblings, son, and gallery owner Arne Glimcher. Wilson has also
had complete access to Glimcher's archives, Nevelson's personal
assistant, Diana Mackown, and Lippincott studios, where much of
Nevelson's work was cast, among others
