Niki de Saint Phalle: Moving On Up

Les Baigneurs

Imagine my surprise at seeing Luxembourg’s Blue Lady’s relatives frolicking on Park Avenue!

One of the first things I noticed upon arrival in Luxembourg was the iconic Blue Lady, the zaftig sculpture in the middle of town. Not only was she eye-catching, with her bright colors, playful stance and exaggerated curves, but she also served as a landmark. People would direct me to the office building “behind the Blue Lady” or to “take a left at the Blue Lady.” https://shootandscrawl.com/blue-lady/

Les Trois Graces

Saint Phalle created her memorable women, or nanas, in the 1980s as she solidified her international reputation as a sculptor.
