Though Louise Nevelson is known for her sculpture, Prints explores a series of lithographs she created in the 1960s. These prints share with her sculpture an interest in silhouetted forms, but her use of vivid color sets them apart.

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Carter, this exhibition revisits key moments in the Carter’s history of collecting works on paper, highlighting the museum’s path to becoming one of the finest collections of American art in the country.

The World Outside: Louise Nevelson at Midcentury, a Carter-organized exhibition, illuminates Nevelson’s multidimensional mastery of form and dialogue with postwar American culture and features over 50 defining artworks by Nevelson on view together for the first time.
