Niki de Saint Phalle (Catherine Marie-Agnès de Saint-Phalle, 1930-2002), Franco-American artist, painter, engraver, sculptor and film-maker, famous in particular for her monumental "Nanas", left behind a protean,
feminist, exuberant and avant-garde body of work, at the crossroads of
Pop Art,
New Realism and Neo-
Dada, made up of performance-paintings, sculptures and psychoanalytical films.
