Louise Nevelson

Like her. Love her obsessive tendencies. Love her impulse to unify the scraps of debris that surrounded her, and that she chose black as the color to create one from many, creating at the same time a jam-packed and clustered void.

Liked the showing of the work. Didn't like the sections of black walls behind some pieces (dramitic, overdramatic, mellodramatic?). Don't know how I feel about the placement of some pieces hung WAY high on the wall near the ceiling. Hurt my neck a little, and I don't know what it did to the space, other than stick out like a sore thumb.
And space, with its every subtle nuance, is Nevelson's medium of choice.
