Barbie Artworks

Created in 1959 in the United States by Handler, Barbie is the unrivaled iconic childrens’ doll. The greatest stylists were involved in the design of the doll, which was marketed to be sold to young girls. Barbie was revealed to the public via television, and was an immediate success. Soon enough, she arrived in Europe and captivated the whole world. Barbie evolved over time, and this 29 cm high doll became the representation of the perfect woman, with the perfect body, blonde hair with blue eyes. Her practice of several jobs is seen as inspirational to young girls, encouraging them to explore different professions. Barbie becomes a source of inspiration for artists, such as Nathalie Roux or Bruno Boffa, who create artworks in her image. Artsper lets you discover artworks inspired by Barbie.
