The year 2025 marks 35 years since the works of the exceptional American artist Louise Nevelson (1899 near Kiev — 1988 New York) were shown in the highly-praised exhibition „Women Artists of the 20th Century“ in Wiesbaden. Now, a solo exhibition is dedicated to her empathetic and material-rich art, with a special focus on her lesser-known collages. Nevelson created monochrome sculptures sprayed entirely in black, white, or gold, establishing an equivalence among the elements she assembles. In her smaller-format collages, she incorporated surprising color accents, foregrounding the structure of the materials, resulting in minimalist and experimental forms that referenced her sculptures. The exhibition features around ten large-format assemblages and sculptures, along with over 50 collages from different creative periods presented in an engaging dialogue.
