Diminishing Reflection X

A masterwork of assembled wooden forms, Louise Nevelson's *Diminishing Reflection X* brings together an intricate arrangement of painted wood fragments enclosed within a Plexiglas box. Nevelson's signature monochromatic treatment unifies the disparate pieces—turned balusters, geometric scraps, and found wooden objects—into a cohesive, shadow-rich composition. The transparent enclosure simultaneously preserves and frames the work, creating a tension between containment and the outward projection of the sculptural forms within.
