Well I didn't know that!

There is a cute sculpture outside the Le Negresco Hotel that I (this I includes nearly every other person I have spoken to) attributed to the late great artist Nikki de Saint Phalle.  It is not hers! Rather it is the work of Marina Khoutsichvili who is very much alive and working which fact I can attest to as I spoke to her at ArtMonaco 2013.

This is what Marina said " I showed the photos of my sculptures to the owner of Le Negresco, Mme Augier,  and she chose this one: Zarin Singing (220 cm high) in polyester resin." Glad she did as we can all enjoy some of Marina's work.

Now YOU know!

PS: If you don't know Nikki's work then go and visit the permanent exhibition at MAMAC in Nice, you will be glad you did!
