Note: This work has been registered by  the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. The registration document accompanies this lot. This work is a "unique edition", meaning there were others that the artist made from the same mold but they were all uniquely painted and on unique bases. The base here can accommodate a hose to create the fountain effect referenced in the work's title. The water exits the sculpture through the two small holes in the breasts. 

Condition
