Ruth Guggenheim Nivola, Artist & Author
Born in Munich in 1917, Ruth Nivola left Germany in 1933 for Italy where she attended the
Instituto D’Arte Contemporanea di Monza, studying graphics, drawing and painting. There she
met her husband, the Sardinian sculptor Costantino Nivola, with whom she fled from fascism in
Italy to Paris. Ruth Nivola studied fashion in Paris, and the Nivolas moved to New York in 1939.
Settling in New York and in East Hampton to raise their family in the late 1940’s, the Nivolas
welcomed artists from all over Europe who were immigrating to New York at the same time.
