Force & Grâce. Subversif.

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A porcelain figurine reimagining the Rosie the Riveter archetype in pastel modernist drag—mint green, coral, and cream—flexing with serene confidence. The object subverts both the industrial propaganda icon and the decorative figurine tradition by collapsing them into a single glazed paradox. Catalogued as evidence of a 1990s French design movement that never quite cohered: art objects that weaponized domestic kitsch as feminist critique. For collectors of overlooked European conceptual design and those who recognize subversion hiding in plain porcelain.
