1950s Orientalist Ceramic Italian Figure of a boy on an Elephant by Sica

Born in 1932 in New York City, Sica began her artistic career in 1950 while studying at the Art Students League of New York, and later at the Pratt Institute, New York. She also traveled extensively, eventually settling in Saigon, Vietnam, as Duy Tan's apprentice, then in Athens, Greece, with Emanuel Pilidikis. She bolstered her reputation simultaneously by participating in several international art invitational and symposiums. Aside from Vietnam and Greece, Sica has lived in England, Spain and Yugoslavia, and her oeuvre reflects an enlightened perspective of the world, its people and its cultures. Sica's work is in the collections of Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Pérez Art Museum Miami and New York University in addition to many other fine arts institutions and private collections.
