Born in the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine) in 1899, Nevelson immigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. Nevelson first practiced conceptual art using found objects before dedicating her career to sculpture. This work is from a series of 36 columnar sculptures that the artist called Young Trees. In each work, Nevelson used cut wooden shapes and scrap material from a related project to evoke tree-like forms.
