Women at that tim

‘Women at that time were supposed to look pretty and throw little handkerchiefs around.. well, I couldn’t play that role.’ – Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) — During her life and after her death, Nevelson was a pioneer of the arts – not just for the successive generations of women artists, but for the artworld. She was an innovator of installation sculpture, paving the way for the rise of installation art into what it is today. Shown at Miami Beach 2019 by @MenconiSchoelkopf, Louise Nevelson’s ‘Young Tree XXIV’ (1971) traveled to 6 or 7 museums across the US after it was constructed. It’s been said that she ‘made it to travel and instructed that it be seen.’ #louisenevelson #menconischoelkopf #artbasel #artbaselmiamibeach #artbaselmiami #sculpture #modernart #5womenartists #blackandwhite
