Nevelson in Process, 1977 | From the Vaults
The artist Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) was known for her elaborate and monumental sculptures made of found materials such as discarded wood and scrap metal. She was in her forties before she sold a work to anyone other than a fellow artist, and in her sixties before the press conceded her stature as one of America's foremost sculptors. This film offers a window into Nevelson’s creative process, and presents an intimate portrait of the artist at work.
As part of The Met’s 150th anniversary in 2020, each month we will release three to four films from the Museum’s extensive moving-image archive, which comprises over 1,500 films, both made and collected by the Museum, from the 1920s onward. This includes rarely seen artist profiles and documentaries, as well as process films about art-making techniques and behind-the-scenes footage of the Museum.

Yes! This film is so informative. Glad that you got to learn.
I love every second of this documentary. It’s just perfect and Nevelson is brilliant
Thank you Louise. I've learned so much about life and art from you. Wish we could have met. (Thanks for posting)
Apparently my grandmother Ethel, on my Dad's side knew Louise Nevelson from middle school to high school up in Rockland, Maine. My dad's side (many of them) had also settled in Rockland, Maine, around the same time as Nevelson's family. I don't know much about how well she might have known Nevelson, unfortunately. Also, we are Russian-Lithuanian Jews for generations as well. My dad's main forebears were from St. Petersburg, Russia. My grandmother also left Maine later on, to support her family in places like Maryland, and then NYC. I visited the Parrish Art Museum in Westhampton LI NY about five years ago, and there are several smaller Nevelson pieces on display there.
❤ love this lady , her voice, her choice of clothes , and her way of creating a sculpture that will stimulate curiosity and inspiration! I wonder if anything survived of her massive wall attachment sculpture , on one of the World Trade Center towers?
I am glad to live in the 21st century. But man, I would be really, really curious to spend even a day in the late 70s
I’ve always thought Annie Antone’s intricate creations tie art to the ancestral land of the Hopi and Anasazi. She’s one of my favorites.
Louise Nevelson is my fav! 🥰

We love her too : ).
Pretty neat
Great Love it
I wonder how she had the money for materials, rent, pay the workers, being an artist.
"sure I am ambitious but that isn't the way I put it. I feel that, if you have energy, if you have great desires you create energy in yourself, you see, because if you don't have those well you can have a nice life"

What is the problem with money? You think being poor alone is enough to be a great artist? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
