Devi

November 4, 2001 - March 17, 2002

Museum: Sackler Gallery

Location: Pavilion

On view is a 9-foot tall statue--whose name means goddess--by Indian artist Ravinder Reddy (b. 1956). The statue's brightly colored, sensuous female face recalls images of traditional Hindu deities, while at the same time reflecting elements from popular Indian culture--bright lipstick, gold-plated earrings, ribbons, and scarves.
