This is Louise nevelson's End of Day-Nightscape IV in the Bloch building in the Nelson-Atkins. I always liked this monumental piece, but honestly had never heard of the artist, so I looked her up this time around. I found out she was a monumental artist of her time having been photographed for the cover of LIFE magazine in 1958, she has also received a National Medal of Arts from President Reagan along with many other honors. There is so much art out there you can't take it all in, which is awesome.
Anyway here is a quote from the artist about her found object assemblages - "When you put together things that other people have thrown out, you're really bringing them to life - a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created." - Louise Nevelson
I can't figure out how I ended up with everything underlined or how to take it off. HELP!!!
