in the fold
April 23, 2008 2:51 pm

I’ll readily admit to having an eBay habit. One of my favorite recent purchases is an accordion-style catalog, probably from the sixties, of the work of Niki de Saint Phalle, who is currently the subject of a retrospective at Tate Liverpool. Born in France and raised in America, Saint Phalle, who modeled for Vogue in her teens, was much influenced by Antonio Gaudí. I’ve always admired the small Saint Phalle sculpture in the office of our executive fashion director, Candy Pratts Price, and now—after a bidding war and an obliging eBay seller—I have a small memento of the artist’s work as well.
