Louise Nevelson was known for her monumental box-shaped sculpture, and her signature use of monochrome. Born in the Ukraine in 1899 she emigrated to the United stated in 1905 where her family settled in Rockland, Maine. In 1920, she married Charles Nevelson and moved to New York. In her formative years she studied with Hans Hofmann, and worked as an assistant to Diego Rivera. In the mid-thirties she began to gather wooden objects on the streets of New York, transforming them into elegant objects of mystery.
