Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) was a self-educated French sculptor, painter, and filmmaker who frequently addressed themes of feminism, violence, mythology, and personal desires in her work. Known for her voluptuous ‘Nanas’ sculptures executed in a riot of colors, Saint Phalle explored various female archetypes throughout her oeuvre which ranged from the playfully surreal to Dada-influenced conceptual works. The artist has exhibited extensively at top venues throughout the world, including Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris, FR), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam, NL), National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, DC), and Brooklyn Museum of Art (New York, NY), among many others.
