The Guggenheim, MoMA and Tate Modern all hold major collections of Pevsner’s work. Pevsner donated a selection of his work to The Centre Pompidou in Paris before his death, leaving them as custodians of perhaps the widest range of his sculpture, drawings, and paintings. After becoming a naturalised citizen of France in May 1930, Pevsner was awarded in 1961 the Croix de Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur (National Order of the Legion of Honour, knight class) for his contribution to art. Despite the individual and collective artistic achievements of both siblings Pevsner’s presence in the history and literature of Constructivism remains sparse, with Gabo’s work eclipsing that of his elder brother.
