A deep dive into the life and work of sculptor Louise Nevelson
recontextualizes her art in light of social movements, travel, and
her experiences in dance and theater  Known for her
monumental wooden wall pieces and outdoor sculptures, Louise
Nevelson (1899–1988) was a towering figure in twentieth-century
American art. A more nuanced picture of Nevelson emerges in The
World Outside: Louise Nevelson at Midcentury. Discussions about
Nevelson’s early involvement with modern dance and subsequent
immersion in avant-garde theater bring new understandings of her
drawings and sculptures. A reframing of her travels to Mexico and
Guatemala in the early 1950s demonstrates, for the first time, how
colonial archaeology haunted her visual language for decades.
 Other little-known facets of Nevelson’s life—her
interest in folk art, architecture, and period furniture—open up
a conversation about the artist’s approach to America’s past
material culture. A pioneering examination of Nevelson’s
printmaking experiences at Tamarind Lithography Workshop reveals
how the artist created alternative modes of viewing through
unconventional methods and materials. The book also reconsiders
Nevelson’s work in the context of the environmental movement.
Additionally, three contemporary artists relate Nevelson’s role
in their careers and lives, a local expert describes her roots and
relationship to Maine, and the artist’s granddaughter shares
thoughts on Nevelson’s spirituality.  Distributed for the
