Niki de Saint Phalle’s California Nana Vase (1) exemplifies her celebration of form, color, and feminist visual vocabulary. Rooted in the artist’s signature Nana series, this work translates exuberant figuration into three-dimensional form, where curvilinear shapes, vibrant hues, and playful proportions subvert traditional sculptural norms. The unabashed presence of California Nana Vase (1) reflects Saint Phalle’s commitment to joy and empowerment, while its ceramic execution underscores a synthesis of painterly exuberance and sculptural presence. Situated within the broader history of postwar sculpture, this piece intersects personal expression with collective cultural resonance, conveying confidence and vitality through every contour of its design.
Edition structure, condition, and documentation have been verified according to recognized standards for editioned sculptural works.
