"Female nudes were the focus of sculptor and woodblock artist Aristide Maillol. The Nelson museum has a female nude sculpture in its collection. He is most famous for his sculptures of females. 

I think the last sculpture sold at auction was $1.8 million. I found my woodcut at the Far Gallery in New York. That same location now goes by the name of Loro Piana, an upscale retail store." Richard Hamilton
