Louise Nevelson

 

Fifteen years ago Artis-Naples acquired a massive installation by American sculptor Louise Nevelson.  


Dawn Forest, Nevelson's large and complex 1985-1986 work, is in the entry hall and a side gallery.



Dawn Forest was originally in the lobby of Georgia Pacific and MetLife’s headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.  During a renovation the work was donated to the Baker Museum.

Love her work. Taking wood into pure form and shapes...I have seen a few pieces which were not painted white - a different feeling from them.

Wonderful. I have always liked her work.

Jack, this is impressive art work, but I'm not sure I know enough to truly appreciate it. My formal education is in the social sciences, and not in art,
