Nicola L. (born Nicola Leuthe, 1932–2018) was a visual artist who developed a multidisciplinary practice that playfully merged the principles of art and design. Born in Morocco to French parents, the artist was initially associated with Pop Art and went on to work across five decades, creating interactive sculptures, radical performances, and collage-like paintings, as well as films and plays. Responsive to the counter-cultural movements that originally framed her practice, Nicola L.'s expansive body of work was united through an engagement with feminist politics, and the ideals of equality and collectivity. The artist became particularly known for her witty, anthropomorphic sculptures that fused female bodies and domestic objects, materializing the objectification of women. The artist described her work as "an ephemeral monument to freedom."
