Celebrating Louise Nevelson at 125

In celebration of the 125th birthday of artist and League alumna Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) we present Founder and Chairman of Pace Gallery Arne Glimcher, who has exhibited Nevelson’s work since 1961, in conversation with Julia Bryan-Wilson, PhD, Columbia University professor and author of "Louise Nevelson’s Sculpture: Drag, Color, Join, Face" (Yale University Press, 2023). The conversation is moderated by Oliver Shultz, PhD, Chief Curator at Pace Gallery.
The panel focuses on Nevelson’s life and impact on the art world. Nevelson studied at the League with Kenneth Hayes Miller, Hans Hofmann, and George Grosz, eventually becoming world-renowned for her monumental and monochromatic wood sculptures and wall pieces. Nevelson will be honored at the League’s 2024 Gala on November 4 with a posthumous award for her legacy at the League and the arts.
