How Art Basel Paris’ Upcoming Edition Will Activate the Entire City
Several storied Parisian sites will host freely accessible exhibitions, installations, sculptures and curatorial projects by prestigious French and international artists.
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle, born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France in 1930, was a groundbreaking French-American artist known for her colorful and provocative works. She began her career as a self-taught artist in the 1950s and quickly gained attention for her "Tirs" series, in which she shot at canvases to create dynamic, spontaneous works. Saint Phalle's style evolved to include large-scale sculptures and installations, often exploring themes of femininity, mythology and social justice. Notable works include "The Tarot Garden" and her "Nanas" sculptures, which celebrate female forms. Her art is characterized by vibrant colors and playful yet powerful imagery. Saint Phalle's work is housed in institutions such as the Pompidou Center and the Museum of Modern Art. She passed away in 2002, leaving a significant impact on contemporary art and feminist discourse. Read more about Arts.
