This painted resin piece by the Franco-American artist, a member of the Nouveau Réalisme group, is part of her "Nana" series that began in the late 1960s.

The roundness of the chest and buttocks accentuates their feminine silhouettes, making them emblematic figures of her personal rebellion and, through it, a standard-bearer for women's rights.
