About the Item

Louise Nevelson created the etching and aquatint entitled “CIRCUS WAGON” in 1953. This scarce EARLY impression was printed in an edition of 20. The image size is 15 x 17 5/8 inches (38 x 44.7 cm). The paper size is 18 ½ x 20 15/16 inches (47.2 x 53.2 cm). This impression is signed and titled in pencil just below the image. Louise Nevelson (1899–1988), an artist best known for her monochromatic wooden sculptures, produced a distinctive body of works on paper over the course of her long career. Nevelson frequently used unconventional or recycled materials. In her prints, she layered scraps of fabric to create deeply textured environments containing mystical figures and architectural forms. Interested in the physical constraints of objects, Nevelson sought to transform the materials that she used and the subjects that she depicted. She believed that art could reorient one’s relationship to the built and natural world, challenging us to see our environments differently through her work. - Whitney
