New York Avenue Sculpture Project: Niki de Saint Phalle

Three abstract outdoor sculptures of voluptuous figures covered in bright patterns and dancing with outstretched arms.
Apr 28, 2010 to Oct 30, 2011

Niki de Saint Phalle’s sculptures on view showcased the ancient art form of mosaic in a new, exciting way. Combining dynamic color and form, de Saint Phalle created vibrant, lively figures, which are partly inspired by the famous Barcelona-based architect Antonio Gaudi (1852–1926). Her figures take on a life of their own: their large scale and active lines create motion and vigor. This installation was on view from April 28–November 07, 2010 and March 26–October 30, 2011.
