Bust of Thalia I (Tiffany Blue)

Displayed in the Tiffany & Co. store on Calle de Serrano, Madrid, finished in a patina developed to echo Tiffany’s signature color.

Thalia, muse of comedy and idyllic poetry, is modeled on the sculptor’s mother as a young woman, from photographs taken around 1950. In the Hellenic Heads cycle she stands for Classical Greece.
