Niki de Saint Phalle

Niki de Saint Phalle - Nana with Hand BagYer gotta larf at the stuff folks pass off as art. Here's a prime example: Nana with Hand Bag by "internationally renowned artist" Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002). Who? If you really want to know, visit Coskun Fine Art at its Walton Street gallery, London, from 15 May until 30 June 2007. Smart Money take note: Nana has got to be one for the vault. Imagine standing this garish load of girlie nonsense in your living room! It makes the statue of Bobby Moore (below) look good.

Seriously, men don't get the art of Niki de Saint Phalle. Cherck out her entry at Wikipedia for starters to find out that there is more to the artist and her work that what you portray in your blog.

Happy exploring!
