Beverly Hills is breaking ground for “Love Anatomy,” the eight-foot bronze sculpture by acclaimed Romanian-American artist Alexandra Nechita. The work will be installed on the west side of the Burton Way median, facing three other existing sculptures (“Sisyphus” by Alexander Liberman, “World On Its Hind Legs” by William Kentridge and “Folded Square – Alphabet G” by Fletcher Benton). “Love Anatomy” joins the city’s impressive Public Art collection, which numbers close to 100 pieces.
Born in Romania, Nechita began drawing at age two and held her first exhibit at age eight at the Los Angeles Public Library. Dubbed the “Petite Picasso” for her mastery of color and form, she has exhibited worldwide and amassed an international following. In 2008, Nechita graduated from UCLA with a degree in Fine Arts. She now lives in Los Angeles.
