Niki de Saint Phalle in the 1960s

Niki de Saint Phalle in the 1960s is the first exhibition to survey the experimental work of French American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) during this pivotal decade, featuring numerous works from European collections that will be displayed in the United States for the first time.

The exhibition explores a transformative ten-year period in Saint Phalle’s work when she embarked on two of her most significant series: the Tirs, or “shooting paintings,” and the exuberant sculptures of women she called Nanas.
