before she was born, and which she had no choice but to
follow. What Im saying is I that did not become anything,
I was an artist.3 This was her lifes blueprint or destiny
something she mentioned time and again and used as an
argument to justify her rejection of a domestic or family
life, on the one hand, and to extol her condition as an innate
artist on the other.
Nevelson lived in New York City for the rest of her life,
except for a brief period in Munich, where she went to study
under Hans Hoffmann after she had separated from her
husband. For many artists and intellectuals,4 New York City
had become a world of its own: a meeting point for people,
ideas, temperaments and fragrances from many other
cities. In addition to studying at the Art Students League
of New York, Nevelson took part in other artists classes
and activities, and studied singing, acting and modern
dance at different periods of her life. In several interviews,
she points out how important it was for her to control and
be aware of her body, even in doing sculptural work. In
New York City, Nevelson became friends with several
artists: musician John Cage, his partner, choreographer
Merce Cunningham, and playwright Edward Albee, who
in 2002 wrote the script Occupant, concerning a reporters
posthumous interview with Nevelson, paying homage to her
while disentangling certain chapters of her life. In a panel
discussion featuring Cunningham and Albee that took place
in 2007 as part of an important retrospective of Nevelsons
work at the Jewish Museum in New York,5 the playwright
noted how obstinately reluctant Nevelson was to talk about
artists who had influenced her, or at least, that she found
interesting.
Nonetheless, we can point out three decisive moments
or antecedents in Nevelsons career as an artist and
sculptor. Her father managed a second-hand lumberyard in
Rockland that, to an extent, became Nevelsons immediate
context and landscape of reference. In 1932, she met Diego
