Produktinformationen zu „Niki de Saint Phalle, English Edition “
When Niki de Saint Phalle died, the world lost not only an artist of enormous passion, but also a remarkably creative woman whose work and life were inextricably linked. Throughout her forty-year career Saint Phalle explored female roles in society and myth, basing many of her disquieting and joyful depictions on personal experience. The full range of Saint Phalle's oeuvre is paid glorious tribute in this retrospective volume, which also features new images and an extended biography. Chronologically arranged, this updated book takes readers from the visceral and controversial "shooting paintings" and her playfully voluptuous "nanas" to the impressive installations and wonderfully elaborate sculpture gardens such as the Tarot Garden in Tuscany, the Sun God in San Diego and the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris. In addition to nearly a hundred color and black and white photographs of Saint Phalle's work, the artist's own comments and sketches are interspersed throughout the book, providing an integral framework for understanding and appreciating her unusual talent.

Autoren-Porträt von Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle wurde mit ihren leuchtend bunten Polyester-Plastiken, insbesondere den Nanas, international populär. Die fröhliche matriarchalische Gegenwelt, die sie in diesen Frauenbildern entstehen läßt, hat innerhalb der neuen Kunst ihre ebenso herausragende wie isolierte Stellung begründet. Niki de Saint Phalle ist eine Außenseiterin, die sich in keine der gängigen kunsthistorischen Gruppierungen einordnen läßt. Begabt mit einer unerschöpflichen Phantasie, gelingt ihr in ihren Skulpturen etwas sehr Seltenes: sie vermag unterschiedlichste Altersstufen und soziale Schichten gleichermaßen anzusprechen und zu motivieren, dem eigenen Gefühl, der Spontaneität zu vertrauen.
