{"product_id":"louise-nevelson-art-is-life","title":"Louise Nevelson: Art is Life","description":"Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) was, with Calder, Noguchi and David Smith, one of the  great American sculptors of the 20th century. She created extraordinary work, from  room-size installations composed of boxes to gnarled and majestic steel structures. Her  life story is no less interesting. She was born in czarist Russia, but her family emigrated to  the States and she grew up in Maine. Nevelson endured a repressive marriage to a New  York millionaire, whom she escaped to pursue the life of an artist. She gained recognition  as an abstract sculptor at the age of 59, and spent the next 30 years taking the art world  by storm, becoming a colourful New York personality and minor celebrity.     \nLaurie Wilson, who knew Nevelson personally, draws extensively on her own research  in this crisp new biography. She conducted interviews not just with Nevelson but with  her siblings, son, and gallery owner Arne Glimcher. Wilson has also had complete  access to Glimcher's archives, Nevelson's personal assistant, Diana Mackown, and  Lippincott studios, where much of Nevelson's work was cast, among others","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39664503423061,"sku":"9780500094013N","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/5259ffd0-f9fa-48a2-b467-539139beded5.jpg?v=1644292899","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/louise-nevelson-art-is-life","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
