NAPLES, FL.- The Naples Museum of Art in Florida has
received, through a generous corporate gift, Louise Nevelson’s largest
sculpture
installation and her last major work, Dawn’s Forest. Commissioned and
owned by
Georgia-Pacific LLC and MetLife for the Georgia-Pacific Center in
Atlanta,
Dawn’s Forest has been part of a corporate collection since it was
created in
the 1980s and has never been shown in a museum setting.
It is
Nevelson’s largest and most complex sculptural environment, containing
elements
culled from previous works dating to 1971. The Naples Museum of Art will
unveil
the monumental installation, which consists of a dozen individual
sculptures, in
October.
