Nancy Graves

Interior of a Tent (Mongolia) Showing Two Sides
1970

This is a colorful, grid-like artwork by Nancy Graves from 1970, depicting various objects and utensils, possibly from a kitchen or domestic setting, arranged in a pattern resembling an inventory or catalogue. Each section is vividly colored and labeled with numbers corresponding to a key at the bottom, which describes items such as milk buckets, blue gas carafe, and cooking pots. The background is a ledger paper, adding to the systematic and analytical feel of the composition.
