CELEBRATE!: September 23, 2024

In recognition of the iconic artist Louise Nevelson's 125th Birthday, the Louise Nevelson Foundation celebrates this highly esteemed artist of 20th Century American Art.  Maria Nevelson personally invited over 194 art museums, galleries and public spaces to acknowledge the importance of Nevelson's art works.  We would like to thank the following for answering our campaign call and Louise Nevelson would surely be absolutely delighted:

1000museums.com * Art Students League * Birmingham Museum of Art * Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts * Norton Simon Museum of Art * San Francisco Museum of Modern Art * Connecticut College * New Britain Museum of American Art * The Baker Museum Artis-Naples * Boca Raton Museum of Art * Museum of Contemporary Art/Chicago * Eskenazi Museum of Art * Ulrich Museum of Art/Wichita State University * Colby College Museum of Art * Farnsworth Art Museum * Portland Museum of Art/Maine * The Baltimore Museum of Art * Davis Museum at Wellesley College * MIT List Visual Arts Center * Museum of Fine Arts/Boston * Temple Israel/Boston * Saint Louis Art Museum * Tippet Rise * Museum of Modern Art * Nevelson Chapel * NYC Parks & Recreation * Pace Gallery * Vassar College * The Whitney Museum of American Art * Wake Forest University Art Collection * Allen Memorial Art Museum * Oberlin College * The Butler Institute of American Art * Cincinnati Art Museum * Berman Museum/Ursinus College * Association for Public Art * Dina Wind Art Foundation * Philadelphia Museum of Art * Hunter Museum of Art * Memphis Brooks Museum of Art * Amarillo Museum of Art * Amon Carter Museum of American Art * Archives of American Art * Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden * National Gallery of Art and Sculpture * Tate Gallery * Israel Museum * Museum Wiesbaden * Centre Pompidou - Metz * Nevelson LLC  !

Note: Maria Nevelson would like to thank Anastasia Gudko for encouraging her to undertake this time consuming campaign and notifying so many organizations that had no idea this big milestone was coming.

Nevelson can be found around the world in over 200 museums and outdoors with municipal public art.  Her wide range of materials e.g. up-cycled found wood, Plexiglass, painted canvases, lead embossed prints, resin multiples, and in her "elder years" 70 foot high plus Cor-Ten Steel and aluminum sculptures, has out-paced and out-produced most artists throughout art history.  Louise Nevelson is, take a breath, a real inspiration.
