On her numerous trips to Mexico, her knowledge of pre-Hispanic sculpture grew, which allowed her to renew her artistic discourse. Beginning in the nineteen fifties, she gained more recognition for her work and began assembling wood, a style for which she would later be recognized and into which she integrated a great many residual, discarded, or abandoned objects. Among these are chair seats, stair rails, picture frames, musical instruments, crates, boxes and clocks, and other objects.[3]

In 1958 she presented her work Sky Cathedral Moon Garden Plus One, at the Grand Central Moderns Gallery. The work consists of a wall assembled with various objects, black and hefty. In 1959 she was part of the exhibition Sixteen Americans, presented at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). By the nineteen sixties, Manhattan's Pace Gallery became the artist's main exhibition center, putting on many of her shows. In 1962 she represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. By 1967, the Whitney Museum had presented a retrospective with one hundred of her works.
