Printmaking

Niki de Saint-Phalle was a French-American sculptor and painter, best known for her monumental sculpture in fiberglass and experimental materials. Her work, in tandem with her feminism, have given a voice to rebellion and rejection of social notions of womanhood. Her best-known work is a series of sculptures for the Tarot Garden at Capalbio in Tuscany, an answer to Antoni Gaudi’s Parc Güell in Barcelona. The fourteen-acre sculpture park presents twenty-two monumental sculptures of female forms in various states, positions, and colors. A culmination of her life’s work, the sculptures at the Tarot Garden have become symbols of strength, self-celebration, and life-affirmation, referencing mythology, folk-art, nature, and female creativity.
