Niki de Saint Phalle - Monographie - Catalogue raisonné - 1949-2000 - 2 volumes sous coffret

"Niki de Saint Phalle's work today is internationally acknowledged and accepted. She is one of the most famous artists of the 20th century, and she continues today to be a major figure in contemporary art - vivacious and inventive, original and open-minded.

From her early works of the 1950s, when she began drawing and painting, through her assemblages and shooting pictures, to the political and artistic statements of the early 1960s, her artistic carrer developed at a rapid rate. Long before she invented her Nanas, the central concepts of her art had already been identified: there were the additive strategies of collage and assemblage (the collection and altering of found materials); her approach to landscapes, the introduction of narrative figures and stories; and overall an intense relationship between the private life and public work..."
