Unique

One of our favorite Nancy Graves sculptures; the symbolism of "Slaying the Dragon" is significant and powerful -- representative of Graves' greatest vision and accomplishments as an artist, demonstrating her preoccupation with mythology and animals and her distinct style of Abstract Expressionism. Unique, dramatic and impressive. (Nancy Graves was the first woman to receive a solo retrospective at the Whitney Museum. An important and very original sculptor, was once married to Richard Serra, whom she met at Yale School of Art in the early 1960s). She died of breast cancer at the young age of only 58. If you collect Nancy Graves sculptures - there are few finer works on the market that we've seen.
