Description:
|
|
Les Trois Grâces are three large sculptures of voluptuous women (a creation that de Saint Phalle calls a 'Nana') who appear to be dancing. Made of fiberglass, covered in brightly colored mosaic, they all wear elaborate bathing suits in designs such as hearts, fish, and instruments, in multiple color schemes. A whimsical set of sculptures, the three figures have their arms raised as if ballet dancing; each has one foot on the ground and another raised up. The Niki Charitable Art Foundation rotates temporary public art installations of de Saint Phalle's work around the world. This work was photographed while installed on a street in Saint-Tropez.
