What are "The Skinnies"?
Sculpture: Femme bleue
On Guide: n22
Location: Shoenberg Temperate House
Air became part of Niki's artistic palette with her see-through "Skinnies," made of bronze and polyurethane paint. Niki saw New Man is Coming and Femme Bleue 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.
