In more temperate weather, she wore her fur boa – complete with little fox heads that hooked together.
This excerpt is taken from the book “Holding Her Hand”, where the artist makes a personal commentary on each of the paintings. To read the full commentaries, the book is available for purchase.
Reproductions in this the "Holding Her Hand" series are wrapped around 1.5" stretcher strips, like the original. They are ready to hang without framing.
