Louise Nevelson (September 23, 1899 – April 17, 1988) was an American sculptor known for her monumental, monochromatic, wooden wall pieces and outdoor sculptures. Born in the Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine), she emigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. Chapel of the Good Shepherd (also known as Nevelson Chapel) is a sculptural environment installation by the American 20th-century artist Louise Nevelson located at the St. Peter's Lutheran Church in New York City. Nevelson designed the five-sided sanctuary space by incorporating various abstract sculptural elements such as reliefs, columns, and an altarpiece made with materials that included found objects from New York City streets.
