Fiore - In Love with Clay
Directed by Richard Whymark2019 80m Not Rated
At the intersection of art, gender identity, seduction and celebrity, "Fiore - In Love With Clay" examines identity, inclusion and amazing works of sculpture through one unparalleled life. In the 1960s, as the world was being swept away by modern art, Fiore was building a reputation as a figurative sculptor in the classical style. The young and striking Italian artist soon found herself amongst Princess Margaret's set, sculpting Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, Igor Stravinsky, Peter Ustinov, Oprah Winfrey, Laurence Olivier, and President Kennedy among many others. As her career exploded, she grappled with - and eventually accepted - her intersexuality. Duality became prominent in Fiore's art, her life and her explosive love affairs. Personally, she was managing a shifting gender identity. Privately, she was forging a body of work that was visceral and sometimes surreal. Professionally, she was making her mark in a very male world.
