Nancy Graves: A Sculpture Retrospective
February 19, 1987 – April 26, 1987
This retrospective of 49 sculptures by the American artist (b. 1940) surveys her work from the 1960s to the present, focusing on her work since 1979. Graves' sculptures employ imagery derived from natural history, science, and everyday objects. Plant and marine life, animal bones and fossils, and even pleated lamp shades appear in her constructions and assemblages. Often her recent work is cast in bronze and painted in different colors.
This exhibition is organized by the Forth Worth Art Museum, Texas.
