Who Is Clarice?

On Guide: n11 Sculpture: Clarice again Location: Near athletes (n10) Clarice again, a painted polyester sculpture, is one of Nikis earliest works. She was inspired by the feminine curves of her pregnant friend Clarice, the wife of the American artist Larry Rivers. In 1965, Niki began to consider female figures as models for womens position in society. In Clarice again, you can see an early manifestation of her Nana series. Clarice is a full-figured everywoman who revitalizes the ancient form of a fertility goddess. She embodies a timeless concept in a contemporary form. Clarice again was originally made in 1965 and repainted red with vibrant polyester colors in 1967.
