Nicole Farhi first gained public recognition in the '80s as a fashion designer. She created her eponymous label in 1982 and went on to win the British Fashion Award for Best Contemporary Designer 3 years in a row.
She was first drawn to sculpture during visits to the Foundation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence where she saw work by Alberto Giacometti. 'I was totally struck' she recalls 'by one of his early sculptures called 'Woman with Her Throat Cut... it's probably his vision of the human condition, it's extremely painful and it had an incredible impact on me'. When Farhi eventually took up sculpting she says: 'it all came from that piece of sculpture'.
