Organized in partnership with PaceWildenstein, the show includes a large-scale painted black monochrome wood wall relief and free-standing sculptures measuring up to nearly 10 by 12 feet, in addition to mixed-media collages on paper and board that incorporate materials such as wood, paper, newsprint, paint, vinyl, metal, and other found objects. The works date from the 1950s to the 1980s.

“The work that I do is not the matter and it isn’t the color," Nevelson once said. “It adds up to the in-between place, between the material I use and the manifestation afterwards; the dawns and the dusks, the places between the land and the sea. The place of in-between means that all of this that I use — and you can put a label on it like ‘black’ — is something I'm using to say something else."

"Louise Nevelson: Dawns and Dusks" is on view through June 14.
