Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002)

The artist Niki de Saint Phalle was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1930 and has received worldwide reputation for her ‘Nana’ figures. In the early 1950s, she already created her first paintings, but was still preliminary working as a performance artist. Only in 1964, she developed her first female figures with lush round shapes and called them ‘Nana’. Four years later she participated in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which was followed by numerous exhibitions in Germany, France, Holland, Italy and the USA. Niki de Saint Phalle often described art as her ‘redemption’ and an absolute necessity in her life. (cbo)
