Les Baigners, c. 1983

A collection of the most divine sculpture
by renown French artist/sculptor
is "accessorating" the "islands" of Park Avenue, 
between 52nd & 60th Street!!!! 
 
I adore de Saint Phalle's mythical, magical, 
& monumental work ......
especially her signature "Nana's."
a bevy of colorful, lively & luscious ladies, 
named after the French slang word 
for "broad" or "chick"!!!!

My favorite piece in this exhibition is "The Bathers," 
a sensuous curvy, over-ripe "Nana"
& her ball tossing "beau" .....
who bring the beaches of St Tropez to 
Park Ave. & 57th Street!!!
