Original Serigraph on Paper - From the rare limited edition of 125 - Published by Harry N. Abrams Inc. In collaboration with The Pace Gallery New York - Suite: Facade - Hand Signed by the Artist
Nursery Rhyme by Louise Nevelson is a monochromatic serigraph that encapsulates her signature sculptural aesthetic in a two-dimensional form. Created in 1966, the composition features an abstract, fragmented arrangement of geometric shapes and shadowy forms, reminiscent of her iconic wooden assemblages. Rendered in shades of black and gray, the piece conveys a sense of depth and structure, as if viewing a shadowed architectural relief. The print’s title, Nursery Rhyme, contrasts intriguingly with the composition’s formal and industrial feel, hinting at a playful or nostalgic undertone within the complex, structured forms. This limited edition print, signed by Nevelson, exemplifies her ability to blend mystery and formality in abstract visual language.
Louise Nevelson (USA, 1899–1988) was a pioneering sculptor known for her monumental, monochromatic assemblages crafted from wood and found objects. Her works, often painted in black, white, or gold, create intricate, architectural compositions. Nevelson’s innovative approach to abstraction and use of recycled materials established her as a key figure in 20th-century sculpture.
Serigraph Serigraph is a printmaking process that uses silk screen techniques to create an image. The image is digitally separated into individual colors, each of which is assigned to a separate silk screen. These screens are then used to apply each color by hand, layer by layer, to replicate the original artwork, often based on an oil painting.

You must create your own world. I am responsible for my world.
- Louise Nevelson
Louise Nevelson is especially well known for her monochromatic wooden wall pieces and sculptures which are located permanently in the outdoors. Before centering her work as a sculptor, she tried out work in the media of painting and printing. However, it became clear that sculpture was where the strength lay. Most of her pieces are made out of wood and they appear almost puzzle lie. There are usually lots of different defined pieces which come together to create a whole. They are either standing independently or fixed to a wall. She likes to make work in monochromatic black and white as it adds to the starkness of the sculpture. Known internationally she has exhibited widely and her work can be found in museums and galleries across the world. She is probably one of the most famous and important figures in twentieth century sculpture history.
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
