Four Ladies
Francisco Zúñiga is an artist and sculptor who was born in Costa Rica and made a name for himself in Mexico. This bronze statue was created in 1974 and caught Oprah’s eye. She decided to place it on the grounds of her mansion. The name of this piece is ‘Grupo de cuatro Mujeres de pie,’ meaning a group of four standing women. Naturally, the statue is very symbolic. The four women represent a different stage of life in femininity: the teenage girl, the pregnant woman, a middle-aged woman, and an elderly woman. The statue is surrounded by eucalyptus, palm, and pine trees. The statue was bought at an auction at Christie’s for a whopping $3.1 million.
