Description: Kunsten is presenting a comprehensive special exhibition of works by one of the most highly-esteemed American sculptors of the 20th century, Louise Nevelson (1899-1988). This exhibition is the first solo presentation in Denmark, in 47 years, of this highly influential artist, who for years enchanted viewers with her monumental sculptures. Louise Nevelson has been described as a 'Furniture Mystic', an 'Architect of Shadows', 'The Queen of Assemblage' and 'Visual Art's Answer to Karen Blixen'. In the post-war years, on the basis of what she referred to as a life-long love affair with art, she set out to breathe new life into sculpture. The exhibition will present several of Louise Nevelson's distinctive works: assemblages several metres long, made from salvaged bits of wood painted monochromatically in black, white and gold, and small, rarely-shown collages. Exhibition: Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Denmark (29.05.2020-03.01.2021)
