GRAVES, Nancy, (American, 1940-1995): View of Earth from the Air (Air & Space Opening), Serigraph, 38 3/4" x 32", signed lower right and dated '75, numbered lower left 46/165, framed, 40" x 34". Commissioned in 1975 to commemorate the opening of the National Air and Space Museum. It depicts a skillful composite of photographs taken from Apollo 13 on its way to the moon, describing the globe's curvature shown in magenta. Other photos taken from weather satellites include Washington, D.C., and show the jagged edges of New York and Long Island Sound, and the craggy contour of Maine and Cape Cod, which merge into the blue-green sea. The artist hand printed this serigraph in 22 colors, and cut the stencils and drew on the screens with tusche. (The Smithsonian Associates Art Collectors Program). Nodine Collection.
