Collage was an important part of Louise Nevelson's practice. The process mirrored her approach in sculpture; taking disparate elements and assembling or uniting them into a complex whole. Similar to her American contemporaries, Nevelson delved into printmaking. She worked with the leading printing studios in America adopting new techniques while expanding her aesthetic and oeuvre considerably. This collage was the final maquette that would be screenprinted becoming "Lullaby for Jumbo" (from "Façade: In Homage to Edith Sitwell") Nevelson worked with Chiron Press in New York, which had opened in 1962 and was a just a stone's through from her 11th Street home studio.

An artwork by Louise Nevelson. "Untitled" is a found-object, assemblage, abstract sculpture, painted wood, violin key and clothespin in a black palette by Post War artist Louise Nevelson. Louise Nevelson was an early conceptual artist who worked in a variety of media before engrossing herself with wood sculpture. Her sculptures are made of intricately cut and built wood pieces that create puzzle-like compositions. Often, these sculptures were painted black to incorporate every color – for Nevelson, black was not the absence of color, but the totality of it.
