Her work is in the collections of the: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum in New York City, the Chicago Art Institute, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Museum of Women in The Arts, Tuft's University in Boston, the Massachussett's College of Art in Boston, the Tate Gallery in London and the Pompidou Center in Paris.

Nevelson’s compositions explore the relational possibilities of sculpture and space, summing up the objectification of the external world into a personal landscape. Although her practice is situated in lineage with Picasso’s Cubism and Vladimir Tatlin’s Constructivism, the pictorial attitude of her work and her interest in the transcendence of object and space reveal an affinity with Abstract Expressionism. less
