Fino al 1951 la loro sarà un frequentazione intensa, proseguita poi per lettera fino alla morte di Le Corbusier nel 1965".

Costantino (Tino)[1] Nivola (July 5, 1911 – May 6, 1988) was an Italian-American sculptor, architectural sculptor, muralist, designer and teacher.
Born in Sardinia, Nivola had already started his career when he fled Fascism for Paris in 1938, going to the U.S. in 1939. His major sculptural work is abstract, large-scale architectural reliefs in concrete, made in his own sandcasting and cement carving processes. These were erected in and on American buildings between the late 1950s and early 1970s. Creatively busy and while remaining active in Italy, Nivola also taught at the Harvard Graduate School of DesignColumbia UniversityUC Berkeley, and elsewhere.
Nivola Museum (ph. Armin Linke)
The Nivola Museum in Orani, Sardinia is dedicated to his life and sculpture, and hosts the largest collection of his smaller scale work.[2]

Supported by small exhibitions and a progression of jobs in factories,[8] for Bonwit Teller, and for architectural magazines, the Nivolas bought a modest property in SpringsEast Hampton, Long Island. It would expand to 35 acres. Their garden landscape, a series of outdoor rooms and a roofless solarium, was co-designed by the Nivolas and architect Bernard Rudofsky; in 1950 Le Corbusier impulsively painted murals on two walls of their kitchen. On the nearby beach Nivola developed the principle of his distinctive concrete sandcasting technique while playing with his children. They sculpted wet sand, then poured a slurry of plaster or concrete into the form.
In 1951 Nivola was one of the artists shown in the pivotal 9th Street Art Exhibition, hung by Leo Castelli.
