It happens to be the very image chosen for the cover of the catalogue raisonne of Nancy Graves printed works. Nancy Graves: Excavations in Print : A Catalogue Raisonne Hardcover – March, 1996 by Thomas Padon (Author), Carter J. Brown (Introduction). (Book cover image shown for reference only.)

Nancy Graves (1938-1995), an accomplished and inventive sculptor and printmaker who was once married to Richard Serra, whom she met at Yale School of Art. She later died of breast cancer at the young age of only 58, but not before finding a more fulfilling relationship after her marriage to Serra. Nancy Graves was the first woman to be awarded a solo retrospective at the Whitney Museum.

Unframed and in very good condition. This large work would look absolutely stunning when framed and hung.
