| Description |
Sculpture by Nancy Davidson, Lulu (1 of 3), latex and fabric, 48" x 24" x 24", 1993. The image illustrates Nancy Davidson's distinctive body of inflatable abstract sculpture dating to the early 1990s. Fashioned from latex weather balloons, these sculptures erotically suggest hyper-feminized abstractions of erogenous body parts. This image depicts one of her early, well-known "Lulus"— a series of configurations that involved constricting single balloons with a corset and featured bifurcated bulges on both top and bottom, mimicking the curves of buttocks and breasts. This work and others in this series have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues and museums and discussed in major art and daily press publications. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Nancy Davidson's career beginning in the 1990s: her large, inflatable abstract sculptures fashioned from latex weather balloons, which erotically suggest hyper-feminized abstractions of erogenous body parts. These works include her "Lulus" works, which have a bulbous, fleshy appearance and use of fishnet lace, rope, and other culturally eroticized textiles to adorn, constrict and shape the tautly inflated forms. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize a key body of work and genre, which brought Davidson increased and lasting recognition from art press and institutions. Davidson's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
