Description
Nancy Graves Mapping explores the artist's fascination with maps and their representation in her paintings and works on paper. From the early 1970s, Graves investigated the subject of mapmaking, focusing on natural phenomena such as temperature and weather patterns on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. Published on the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, this book features a representative survey of Graves' work from that period. The collection offers insight into her prolific postwar career, which included a solo exhibition at the Whitney at just 29 years old. An essay by curator Robert Storr accompanies the publication, providing context for Graves' innovative approach to mapmaking and its significance in the artist's oeuvre.
