Louise Nevelson: Dawn to Dusk
Nov 11, 2026
weekly on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday - Through Jan 17, 2027
From: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Found wood, abstract constructions and handcrafted jewelry reveal the range of Louise Nevelson’s artistic practice in a survey spanning more than fifty works. On view Thursday, August 20, 2026 through Sunday, January 17, 2027 at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU, Louise Nevelson: Dawn to Dusk traces her development from early figurative paintings to the sculptural assemblages for which she became known.
Nevelson transformed discarded furniture, architectural fragments and wood scraps into intricate abstract compositions. Often painted a single color, these constructions draw attention to shape, depth and the interplay of light and shadow. The exhibition places her sculptures alongside collages, paintings and jewelry, offering a broader view of her experiments across materials.
Originally organized by the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, the presentation also incorporates painted wood assemblages and collages from the Frost Art Museum’s collection.
Admission is free. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and closed Mondays and most legal and university holidays.
