Niki de Saint Phalle

Niki de Saint Phalle (born Catherine Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle, 1930-2002) was an important artist of the postwar period. This exhibition, coming 85 years after Saint Phalle’s birth, will be the largest retrospective exhibition of her art ever to be held in Japan, including valuable works that will be shown for the first time here. It includes some elements of the retrospective organized at the Grand Palais in Paris in autumn 2014, giving a broad overview of Saint Phalle’s marvelous artistic world. It features approximately 150 examples from Saint Phalle’s early to late work, including shooting paintings and sculptures as well as drawings and prints. It also spotlights the special relationship Saint Phalle developed with Japan through her friendship with Yoko Shizue Masuda.
