Inner View

In late 1965, after a two-year break from a productive experience at Tamarind, Nevelson returned to making prints at Irwin Hollander's invitation. Hollander, one of the first printers to receive training at Tamarind, established his own workshop in New York in 1964, the first such establishment in the eastern United States to grow out of the Tamarind operation. Of the fourteen new editions of prints Nevelson produced, only two were lithographs. Innerview, with its collaged element, shows her growing sophistication with printed components. Close inspection reveals that the collaged part is a section of the underlying drawing, printed on a different color of paper, cut out and laid down. Both the method and materiality of this print recall the assemblage technique of Nevelson's sculpture.
