Missouri Botanical Garden - Niki 2008

On Guide: n22 Sculpture: Femme Bleu Location: Shoenberg Temperate House Air became part of Nikis artistic palette with her see-through The Skinnies, made of bronze and polyurethane paint. Niki saw New Man is Coming and Femme Bleu as air sculptures that breathe and invite you to look right through them. She linked their breathing and skeletal look with the experiences of her own ailing body.
