This sculpture is entitled Louis Armstrong and is one in a series of tributes to famous jazz musicians.
Ten of Niki de Saint Phalle's signature sculptures were on display on the Park Avenue mall from 52nd Street to 60th street in NYC between 07/12/12 and 11/15/12. The scuptures, made of polyster resin, with mosaics of ceramic, mirror, and stained glass tower above the crowds and traffic as high as 16 feet tall and 13 feet wide. The internationally acclaimed artist's sculptural nanas, totems, athletes, and jazz musicians are playful and dynamic.
The exhibition coincides with the ten year commemoration of Niki de Saint Phalles's passing, celebrating the life and achievements of this prolific artist.
This sculpture is entitled Nana on a Dolphin. This is one of her signature Nana"s which is French slang for broad or chick.
