Night Sky

Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) was a 20th century American artist and abstract expressionist known for her large, monochrome wooden wall pieces and monumental outdoor sculptures. Her work appears in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

Night Sky was donated to NIH by Edwin C. “Jack” Whitehead (1919–1992), founder of Technicon Corp., a scientific and clinical instrumentation company, and the MIT-affiliated Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.
