Sculptures
Niki de Saint Phalle's colorful sculptures will be on display at the Nohra Haime Gallery from October 16 through November 16, 2002.
This exhibition is a tribute to the renowned 20th Century artist who filled the world with her vivacious polyester creations.
Saint Phalle's magical and mystical world can be seen through her imaginative figures of sculpted animals and nanas painted in rainbow colors dancing through life.
Stemming from the Pop tradition, Saint Phalle created a fantasy world filled with bulbous creatures.
She worked mostly in stratified polyester, which she painted with bright colors creating a playful style.
Dolphins, dogs, serpents, fish, as well as her well-recognized "Nanas" or female figurines will be included in the exhibition.
Works by de Saint Phalle can be seen in major museums and public collections around the globe.
She designed a Tarot Garden in Tuscany, Italy, where the tarot cards are sculptures and even buildings.
Another well-known work of hers is the fountain outside the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France.
OPENING: Wednesday October 16, 6-8 PM
HOURS: Tuesday - Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM
