About the work
Nevelson's wooden sculptures are built out of urban fragments such as bits of molding or balustrades, splintered sections of wainscoting, lengths of banisters, and chunks of beams. Often architectural in scale, these pieces have a mysterious, haunting presence. Painted black, like Sky Cathedral-Moon Garden Wall, these constructions are filled with complex patterns of shadows, textures, and shapes. In Beyond--Q17 Nevelson also transformed the debris of city life into a three-dimensional work of art in which torn black paper was collaged onto an inventive, suggestive linear design.
