Niki de Saint Phalle visits Japan

Buddha, originally uploaded by purplecosmid.

 

Or at least she did prior to her death in 2002.

One look at this and it screams Niki. Sure enough I managed to find that this "Buddah" was in Japan in 2003. It was created in 1999.
The Japanese love Niki's work and there is a Niki Museum in Nasu.
