Night Sail 1983

"Night Sail" is a 1983 sculpture by American artist Louise Nevelson. Known for her large-scale abstract assemblages, Nevelson often used found objects and painted them in a single color, typically black, to create powerful and evocative works. The sculpture's dramatic form evokes a sense of movement and energy, while the black paint creates a sense of mystery and depth. The sculpture's title, "Night Sail," suggests a sense of adventure and exploration, perhaps reflecting the artist's own journey through life. While the exact dimensions of the sculpture are unknown, its scale can be perceived from the image, which shows it placed in an urban setting.
