Noche Crist
Noche Crist Nude Sculpture

1970s

About the Item

Wonderful and one of a kind nude sculpture by Noche Crist (1909-2004). Sculpture is made from polyester resin. Catalogue of a postumous retrospective in 2008 at the American University Museum Katzen Arts Center in Washington D.C. is included. Paintings by Noche Crist were recently featured in the inaugural exhibition at the Romanian Cultural Institute in NYC. Crist's work is in the permanent collection of the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, the Smithsonian, and the Art Museum of Craiova in Romania. The Romanian born, self-taught artist is known for her acrylic paintings on wooden panels and shaped transparent polyester resin sculptures that create images reminiscent of her childhood at her family's country estate outside Bucharest. Noche Crist was well known not only for her paintings and sculptures but also her storytelling and entertaining that helped turn her into a legendary figure in the Washington D.C. art scene. In her paintings and sculptures she favored the bodies of bare-breasted woman often with animal heads. Her works were widely collected including by Olga Hirschhorn, a leading art collector in Washington D.C. who bought two sets of Noche Crist candlesticks in the shape of nude female torsos.
