ABC Challenge begun 2018
My intent is to have each entry be something from the worlds of art or archaeology (either an artifact or an archaeological site). It is also my intent to represent as many different sources (museums, venues, etc.) as possible. Not every picture will be recently taken, but for the most part each entry will be newly processed specifically for this challenge.
Alphabet Challenge: N – A Number of Nevelson Sculptures
2018 alphabet challenge
N – Nevelson entry 2, three different sculptures
Three different sculptures by Louise Nevelson, a Russian born American artist, are depicted, each in two versions: A standard black and white conversion from the color image, and the inverted or negative version of the black and white. Each sculpture is painted black to begin with.
The sculptures are
1 Atmosphere and Environment XI (left and right panels); painted cor-ten steel, Sculpture Park of the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, Michigan
2 Sky Presence I (top and bottom center panels); H: 116 3/8 in. (295.5 cm); W: 244 1/4 in. (620.4 cm); Depth: 8 1/4 in. (21 cm), wood & black paint (this occupies an entire wall of the gallery it is in) Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio
3 Black Zag I (middle row, center panels); wood and Formica, Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
