Maria Nevelson, Founder, Director

Louise Nevelson Foundation






My mission with LNF is contributing special projects to Louise Nevelson's Legacy with an eye on their relevancy 50 years from now.


I established this foundation for my Grandmother in 2005 because nobody had done so and I could see she was slipping from people's awareness in art history.  In her day, she was a living icon in American Art and revered around the world.  Louise Nevelson was constantly having exhibitions and in the news, received accolades and numerous university honorary degrees, and even invited to the White House by President Jimmy Carter and President Ronald Reagan.
