In Sexy Sweet Clarice, the Nana is plural, protean, almost divine. She appears alternately in a bathing suit, a dress, a goddess, or transformed into a tree - like so many possible metamorphoses of the feminine. Around her, a dragon invades the composition, a figure of latent menace: “Don't let the dragon eatyou up”. The warning is clear: survive, resist, don't let yourself be devoured.
This work pays homage to Clarice Price Rivers, a close friend of the artist and one of the first inspirers of the Nanas. The first figures in the series bore first names: Elisabeth, Bénédicte, Gwendoline... real, beloved, admired women. In her words:
“As you were, Clarice, the original NANA, you can now consider yourself the model of the GREAT DEESS.”
Autumn 1966 “Lettre À Clarice”.

Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle’s art is eclectic and complicated, brave and outspoken. It reveals the unbridled ruminations and opinions of her multifaceted past and transforms them into celebrations of love, life and pure happiness. This transformation reminds us that her work does not simply stand alone, it becomes part of a larger dialogue she created for us to enjoy.
A self-taught sculptor, painter and filmmaker, Saint Phalle made a mark on art history that continues to have an extraordinary dimension. Her work is represented in numerous museums and public collections around the world. In 2000, she received the Praemium Imperiale in Japan, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for the art world. In 2014, the Grand Palais in Paris exhibited a major restropective of her work that traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where it currently resides. Saint Phalle died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California, in 2002.
