NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE. 1980.
Paris: Centre George Pompidou, 1980
30 x 21cm, 98pp. Pictorial card covers. Retrospective exhibition catalogue which is almost wholly pictorial with photographs and works and instruction drawings reproduced throughout. The young Niki stares at the viewer in a documentation of her works from the splatter / shooting / alter works of the early 60s then with a variety of female forms eventually evolving into the huge Nanas of her public works begun in the 1970s.
Fine condition and a reminder that the avant garde can begin radical and hard core and end up just being pleasant.
