Louise Berliawsky Nevelson (American, 1900-1988) Young Tree XXVII, 1971 Unsigned, marked "WEYCO" on one end. Black painted wood, 27 1/2 x 6 x 5 3/4 in. (69.8 x 15.2 x 14.6 cm), mounted to a wooden laminate plinth. Condition: Minor chips. Provenance: From the artist to Pace Gallery, New York (Pace Inv. #3084); purchased from Harcus/Krakow Gallery, Boston; collection of Melvin B. Nessel, Boston, Massachusetts. N.B. We wish to thank Mike Nevelson for his assistance with cataloguing the lot. There are minor rubs to the surfaces, as well as some paint loss. The lowest block is cracked (but this may be original), and some of the corners of the other elements were either roughly cut or have minute breaks (or some of each). Plinth measures approximately 36 x 8 x 8 in. Some of the elements may have been re-glued to the piece.
