Portrait of American pop singer, color painted porcelain, base of stainless steel. Signed and dated on the reverse „VIKOVÁ 84“. H. 42 cm, base 31,5x15,5 cm. "... Viková gained international fame in the 1980s with her precisely painted porcelain sculptures, especially two-dimensional heads. In the context of indirect mentions of pop culture, they often suggest feminine beauty and are permeated by the artist`s efforts to capture a certain psychological moment...."
