Nancy Grossman

wood, paint, paperboard and metal construction, in artist's wooden frame

1963

Nancy Grossman's commanding construction assembles wood, paint, paperboard, and metal into a forceful, tactile composition that reflects her signature exploration of constraint, identity, and raw materiality. The work is housed in a wooden frame crafted by the artist herself, reinforcing her hands-on, deeply personal approach to making. Together, the varied materials create a layered, tension-filled surface that blurs the boundaries between sculpture and painting.
