Nevelson, who pioneered installation art in America with her assemblage environments of the 1950s, collected detritus lying on the street—scraps of wood, refuse from factories—discarded pieces of history shaped and chiseled by the passage of time, and resurrected it.  ”I always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere,” Louise Nevelson insisted, “except it has to pass through a creative mind.”
