Though best known for her work as a sculptor, like many of her American contemporaries, \u003cspan\u003eNevelson\u003c\/span\u003e explored many different branches of printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevelson's signature sculptures often consisted of various boxes and pieces of wood assembled into a sculptural composition, which were then often painted a black or white. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, Nevelson produced a series of 12 serigraphs titled \"\u003cem\u003eFaçade: In Homage to Edith Sitwell\u003c\/em\u003e\". The works in this series were dedicated to the British poet Edith Sitwell who passed away in 1964. Sitwell had published a book of abstract poems titled \u003cem\u003eFaçade\u003c\/em\u003e, the poems rhythms were counterparts to music set by the famed English composer, William Walton. \u003cem\u003eFaçades \u003c\/em\u003ebecame a form of entertainment as Sitwell's poems would be read aloud to Walton's music, ultimately being made into a ballet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from her favourite Sitwell poems, Nevelson created stunning photographic collages of her own sculptures that were then silkscreened onto paper, creating a mixture of abstraction and still life, mirroring the merging of poetry and music of Sitwell's \u003cem\u003eFaçade'\u003c\/em\u003es.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that while shiny, reflective, and textured, these prints still manage to make use of \u003cspan\u003eNevelson\u003c\/span\u003e’s signature color (black) and medium (wood). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mariner Man\" is noteworthy for it's double-layered nature. The photolithograph is overlaid with a mylar image, giving the overall work a ghostly, ephemeral appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNevelson\u003c\/span\u003e's work is instantly recognizable and is positioned in an interesting place within the canon of art history, situated between Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. Her work has had an undeniable influence on a host of significant artists including Tony Cragg and Louise Bourgeois. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thejewishmuseum.org\/site\/pages\/content\/exhibitions\/special\/nevelson\/nevelson_onlinefeature.html\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en\u0026amp;q=http:\/\/www.thejewishmuseum.org\/site\/pages\/content\/exhibitions\/special\/nevelson\/nevelson_onlinefeature.html\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1496259856589000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNGG6VOMe3zTTEOF20Yc0QjhBGgKKg\"\u003eTo learn more about Louise \u003cspan\u003eNevelson\u003c\/span\u003e, Caviar20 recommends the interactive feature from the exhibition \"Louise \u003cspan\u003eNevelson\u003c\/span\u003e: Constructing a Legend\u003c\/a\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a fantastic work for a young collector or to compliment an existing sculpture in your collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:info@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/pages\/contact\" target=\"_blank\"\u003evisit our Toronto gallery\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mariner Man\" from the portfolio \u003cem\u003eFacade\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA, 1966\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePhotolithograph with mylar overlay \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrinted by Chiron Press in New York \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSigned, dated, and numbered \"10\/125\" by the artist in pencil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an edition of 125\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23”H 17.5”W (work)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30.5\"H 24.75\"W (framed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louise Nevelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47721990160620,"sku":"06-26","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/2712\/files\/Caviar20_Louise-Nevelson-Mariner-Man-Facades-1966_01.jpg?v=1781033354","url":"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/products\/louise-nevelson-mariner-man-1966","provider":"Caviar20","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
