With her essential charm and grace, she became an international symbol and inspiration to many for her tireless philanthropic work and support of organizations with worldwide reach especially in the arts and culture.
The “Kelly Bag” sculpture is inspired by the world-renown Hermes Kelly Bag. Following the successful exhibition of the “Wedding Dress” sculpture at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., earlier this year, Mr. Floros is now presenting the “Kelly Bag” sculpture inspired by the particular design favored by Princess Grace and which became a symbol of her personal style and elegance. The sculpture has dimensions 35 x 34 x 12 cm and was designed and created by Nikos Floros using hundreds of pieces of recyclable aluminum beverage cans woven together using a technique invented and patented by Nikos Floros and which is characteristic of his work.
