One Fine Show: “Louise Nevelson, Mrs. N’s Palace” at the Centre Pompidou-Metz
Rife with works that feel like artifacts from the future, the exhibition is the artist's first European retrospective of this scale, 50 years after she last showed in France.
In New York it’s desirable to have some kind of a relationship with your neighbor, but not one that’s too close. A few years ago there was some kind of gas leak in my building. When the burly Italian firemen showed up to save the day—with pictures of saints taped to their oxygen tanks—they asked me if the couple across the hall was in the apartment or at their home upstate. I said I didn’t know, so the firemen crowbarred the door open to make sure that they weren’t. The next time the male half of the couple was in town he buttonholed me in the stairwell to complain about the damage to his doorjamb. This struck me as overly familiar. It wasn’t as if I really knew the guy. I had merely tried to save his life.
