Louise Nevelson — Sky Gate I
Louise Nevelson

Sky Gate I

Louise Nevelson's *Sky Gate I* is a striking cast paper relief that showcases her signature exploration of form, texture, and architectural composition. The work transforms the humble medium of paper into a bold, sculptural surface, with richly layered geometric shapes and recessed compartments that evoke her iconic wooden assemblages. Rendered in the full sheet, the relief demonstrates Nevelson's mastery of shadow and depth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay between light and the constructed environment.
