Career
Born in 1937 in Tashkent, Lev"s father Waldemar reportedly was of German familial origin rumored of Nußberg gardeners, but the Von Nusbergs appear to at some point in history lost the aristocratic prefix "von". Waldemar, an architect, in 1938 was accused of "spying for a foreign power" and, following a quick Soviet era conviction, disappeared while incarcerated as a prisoner of a gulag in Urals. Lev"s mother, born Raisa Bespalova, was a Russian singer.
In the late 1940s, Nussberg moved to Leningrad.
Nussberg graduated from the Moscow Art School 1905 (MSKhSh, 1951-1958). The aim of the Dvizheniye (Russian for "movement") collective was to create and develop in the "bio-centric" movement the group essentially pioneered, called Игровые Бионик-кинетических Системы.
He also founded the group Dynamik in Leningrad. Nussberg emigrated to Germany in 1976.
He held a number of exhibitions, in Düsseldorf and Paris (1976), Venice, Netherlands and London (1977), Bochum, Turin, Kassel, New York (1978), and in Bochum (1979).
In 1980 he moved to the United States.
