This review is from: Niki de Saint Phalle: Traces (Hardcover)

Niki de Saint Phaelle is famous for her huge, boyant "Nana" sculptures. These lively, colorful "earth godesses" are on display in numerous cities in France, Italy & Germany, but are not especially well known in the United States. With the publication of this book, however, the artist is making herself known as an American, to American audiences. The narrative helps inform a life work that reflects a gregarious, optimistic American spirit. This is a woman who's lived with passion, and availed herself of all the exploding opportunities of a 20th century American woman. This is an artist who's time has come.
