About the Item
A striking 1960s wall mirror composed of assembled wood discards, found objects, and hand-cut fragments arranged in a deep relief collage—an evocative homage to the work of Louise Nevelson. This sculptural construction captures the spirit of Nevelson’s monumental assemblages, where everyday materials were transformed into unified, abstract compositions through repetition, layering, and monochromatic surface treatments.
The individual elements—salvaged moldings, carved scraps, architectural fragments—are tightly composed in a grid-like structure, simultaneously rhythmic and irregular. Each component retains the character of its former life, now repurposed into a bold, expressive surface that shifts with light and shadow. A mirror is inset within the work, original to the piece, and a newly added custom frame has been sensitively matched to both support and protect the relief elements without compromising their raw aesthetic.
Assemblage art emerged in the postwar period as a powerful mode of expression, rooted in both Dada and Surrealist collage and gaining renewed significance in the 1950s and '60s. This piece likely originated from a regional artist influenced by Nevelson’s groundbreaking exhibitions and the broader mid-century interest in abstraction, materiality, and the recontextualization of found objects.
Originally designed to hang on a wall, it includes its original hanger and mirror backing—underscoring its dual function as both a reflective object and sculptural artwork. Pieces like this would have appealed to progressive collectors, interior designers, or institutions aligned with modernist ideals and the burgeoning art scenes in New York, California, or the Midwest.
A rare and compelling artifact from the period, full of texture, movement, and historical resonance.
