Niki de Saint-Phalle (after) - Fire bird

Niki de Saint Phalle’s exuberant practice emphasized femininity, performance, and collaboration as it rejected notions of the lone male genius. Saint Phalle is perhaps best known for her “Shooting Paintings”—canvases she made by firing a rifle at paint-filled balloons—and her sculptures of extravagant, voluptuous feminine forms, which she dubbed “Nanas.” Her practice included books, prints, films, theater sets, clothing, jewelry, and even perfume. Saint Phalle was also celebrated for her large-scale public works and architectural activations, which can be found around the world. This colorful piece can be worn both as a brooch and as a necklace. Zamak, gold tone finished, nickel free. It comes in its original small velvet pouch. Signed in print on the back of the jewelry (Niki De Saint Phalle) and the clasp (Niki).
