Four in the Morning

Louise Nevelson is one of the defining figures of 20th century American sculpture — her monumental, monochromatic wooden wall assemblages placed her at the center of the international art world for five decades, from her first solo exhibition in 1941 through her participation in the Venice Biennale and beyond. Four in the Morning arrives from the height of that period, 1966, and captures something essential about how Nevelson thought: the stacking and layering of found forms into something dense, architectural, and strangely interior — a world compressed into a vertical plane.
The format itself is rare and worth noting: a photographic collage screenprint on wove paper with a screenprint on acetate overlay, creating the kind of dimensional, shadowed depth that defined her sculptural practice, translated here into print. Signed and numbered, in excellent condition with only minor frame wear. Works by Nevelson at this scale and price point are genuinely uncommon in the secondary market.
