Louise Nevelson welded steel sculpture entitled "Sky Landscape I", in the Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle. Welded steel was a material favored by sculptors of Louise Nevelson’s generation, but she became known for working in wood and only later incorporated Plexiglass, aluminum and Lucite into her repertoire. Sky Landscape I translates her approach to constructed sculpture from wood to metal. A collage of distinct parts, this work consists of two totemic elements that extend upward to the sky, accented by flourishes of curved metal. While standing in three dimensions, Sky Landscape I reflects Nevelson’s devotion to relief sculpture and to the creation of heightened drama within a narrow field of space. The Olympic Sculpture Park has transformed a nine-acre industrial site into open and vibrant green space for art. This new waterfront park gives Seattle residents and visitors the opportunity to experience a variety of sculpture in an outdoor setting, while enjoying the incredible views and beauty of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Admission is free.
