Perrotin is delighted to announce the representation of the Foundation of American artist Nancy Graves (b. Pittsfield, MA 1939 - d. New York, 1995), a trailblazing painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, who pushed the boundaries of each medium establishing herself as one of the most prominent figures of post-minimalism.

The gallery will present Graves’ work in a wide-ranging exhibition at Perrotin New York, which opens on 23 April and is on view until 31 May.

"We are thrilled to present a selection of exemplary and rarely exhibited works from the 1970s and 1980s," says Ylinka Barotto, Director at Perrotin. "Unfolding chronologically, the exhibition will include paintings, sculptures, and little-known archival materials, bringing to the forefront the multi-layered practice that distinguishes Graves as one of the most groundbreaking artists of the second half of the 20th century."

Nancy Graves gained recognition in New York in the late 1960s. In 1969, at the age of 29, she became the youngest artist to be featured in a sensational exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a pivotal moment that launched a successful and influential career spanning over two decades.
