"The Wedding Present (1977-79), most eloquently demonstrates Nevelson's ability to create a symphony out of scrap wood, its themes carried out by discarded chair legs, bits of molding and other battered fragments. Nevelson took such elements and fitted them into individual modules, then built the modules into enigmatic monoliths, monoliths which can now be seen brushing the ceilings of art galleries and museums all over the world."
