Nevelson is an American sculptor who incorporated the found object in her work. She was born in 1899 and died in 1988. She studied under the great Hans Hofmann, who is currently exhibited at the Blanton Museum in Austin, TX. She was greatly inspired by the Fountain by Duchamp. But since his work was cast down due to the recognizable function of his sculpture, she took the found object and spray painted it to mask its original from and meaning and created these monochromatic assemblages into large wall and outside sculptures. She called herself the "original recycler" and thanks Picasso for giving artists the cube, which was a form she worked with in her very ordered fragmented sculptures.
