Floating Cloud Cryptic III
1977
A towering assemblage of weathered wooden fragments, architectural remnants, and found objects arranged within a box construction, all unified beneath a single coat of white paint. Nevelson transforms discarded materials — chair legs, molding scraps, and geometric forms — into an ethereal, cloud-like composition that hovers between order and mystery. The monochromatic white finish dissolves individual identities of the objects, creating a dreamlike, sculptural environment that evokes both weight and weightlessness.
