🕊️ Louise Nevelson: Dancing in the Shadows 💃🏿

◼️ To celebrate the 62-year collaboration between pioneering artist Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) and Pace Gallery, Pace’s flagship New York space is proud to present the exhibition "Shadow Dance", curated by gallery founder Arne Glimcher. ◼️ The exhibition features Nevelson’s iconic black-and-white monochromatic sculptures alongside her collages from the 1970s and 1980s, including several rare masterpieces being shown publicly for the first time. ◼️ Louise Nevelson is one of the most important avant-garde sculptors of the 20th century. After studying with Hans Hofmann in Munich and New York, she developed her signature monochromatic wooden assemblages. Rooted in the legacies of Cubism and Constructivism, her work redefined the history of sculpture and laid the groundwork for what we now call "installation art." ◼️ Nevelson believed black was the unifying force of all colors. She once said, “Black encompasses silhouettes, the essence of the universe,” and called black the “noblest” of tones. ◼️ In 1978, Louise Nevelson Plaza was established, making her the first living artist in New York City to have a public space named after her, permanently showcasing her large-scale sculptures. ◼️ The late works in this exhibition offer new perspectives on her evolving aesthetic, highlighting her prolific practice in her final years, during which she experimented with bold, often minimalist forms while continuing her lifelong exploration of materiality, form, and light. ◼️ 2025 marks Pace Gallery’s 65th anniversary, and this early-year solo exhibition commemorates the deep bond between Nevelson and Glimcher, as well as her indelible importance in the gallery’s history. ◼️ Following the Pace New York exhibition, as global interest in Nevelson’s work surges, a major retrospective will open this fall at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in France.
