Nancy Graves - Moonwater is the first focused overview of Nancy Graves' intensive engagement with watercolor. Developed from her earlier works based on satellite images of the moon, she named this series "Moonwater" referencing both the search for water on the moon and the water-based technique of this new medium.

The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the expansion of its Board of Directors. Nanette Carter and Louis Grachos have been newly elected as directors.
Nanette Carter is an abstract painter collage artist and sculptor whose work engages with the socio-political realities unfolding worldwide. Applying the semiotics of form, color, line, and texture she sees her practice as a form of documentation, capturing the spirit and complexity of life in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Carter has received numerous awards and grants and has exhibited internationally in galleries and museums including most recently at the Wexner Center for the Arts at the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH (2025) and the Venice Architecture Biennial, presented by Almost Studio Firm (2025). Her work is currently represented by the Berry Campbell Gallery, New York.
Louis Grachos is a contemporary art museum director and curator dedicated to collaborating with artists and institutions and to presenting the work of emerging and established American and international artists. He has been the Phillips Executive Director of SITE SANTA FE since 2021, having previously served as SITE’s Director from 1996 to 2003. He has held positions as the executive director of the Albright Knox Gallery (renamed the Buffalo AKG Art Museum) (2003 – 2012), director of the Palm Springs Art Museum, and executive director and CEO of The Contemporary Austin (2013 – 2019), and has led construction projects and capital campaigns.

In this drawing Nancy Graves has overlain hand-drawn motifs from pharaonic Egypt to Fernand Leger’s 1942 mural of divers.
As Marie Maertens affirms in her text accompanying the exhibition, Nancy Graves' “work develops an ongoing reflection on the temporality of artworks, the formation of a cultural vocabulary, and the meaning and reception of these fragments from art history. It considers how a motif that is no longer recognized, or whose meanings have faded, might be re introduced to produce new perceptions.”

Last days to see Nancy Graves in Paris
“Everyone Scurries,” an exhibition dedicated to American artist Nancy Graves at the gallery’s Parisian space, ends on June 20.
She first gained attention with monumental sculptures of camels, yet throughout her career she worked simultaneously across filmmaking, painting, drawing, prints and editions, and sculpture, reflecting her interest in zoology, paleontology, astronomy, and dance, as well as art history and antiquity. The works presented here span the years 1977 to 1990, a period during which the artist actively incorporated, re-examined, and reinterpreted her sources through vivid color and a wide range of materials.
In Paris, discover her colorful works, created using a wide variety of techniques and motifs.

Derniers jours pour voir Nancy Graves à Paris
“Everyone Scurries”, exposition dédiée à l’artiste américaine Nancy Graves dans l’espace parisien de la galerie, s’achève le 20 juin prochain.
Elle se fait remarquer par d’immenses sculptures de chameaux mais pratiquera, au cours de sa carrière, la peinture, le dessin, l’édition, la sculpture ou encore la réalisation de film… montrant son intérêt pour la zoologie, la paléontologie, l’astronomie, la danse ou encore l’histoire de l’art et l’Antiquité. Les œuvres présentées ici s’échelonnent de 1977 à 1990, une période durant laquelle l’artiste incorpore, relit et réinterprète particulièrement ses sources, dans des couleurs vives et des matériaux très variés.

On view until Saturday, June 20th at Ceysson & Bénétière Gallery, Paris!
In her 1988 drawing, Palpable Draining of the Light, Nancy Graves weaves motifs selected from diverse cultures and art historical contexts: Most recognizable are the large carp fish on the right, based on a Japanese print, and images of the sun and moon being separated into light and darkness cited from the creation mosaic in the cupola of the San Marco Basilica in Venice. Among the smaller and less discernable motifs are Egyptian hieroglyphs, processions, and a doubled Apophis snake, several mythological figures from Classical Greece, and the outlines of a plant from a botanical illustration, These elements are all superimposed over a large scale rendition of Michelangelo’s portrait of Eve as depicted in the Expulsion from Paradise fresco in the Sistine Chapel, Rome. Nancy Graves meticulously drew and painted these motifs by hand in layers of gouache and watercolor, with applications of gold and silver leaf. Despite the profusion of images cited, the overall configuration remains abstract, and the composition airy and harmonious.
Palpable Draining of the Light, 1988.
