About the Item
A sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle. "Dos á Dos" is a Post-War design sculpture, painted polyurethane in a palette of black and bright vivid greens, yellows, and reds by American, female artist Niki de Saint Phalle. The artwork is stamped underneath, "4/20, Niki De Saint Phalle" and is editioned 4 of 20.
Niki de Saint Phalle is a French-born, American-raised self-taught sculptor, painter, and filmmaker. She is one of the few women who has gained her notoriety by creating monumental sculpture. She is most well-known for her Nana series, which were her brightly colored, stylized sculptures of women. The name of the series comes from a French slang term that translates roughly to “broad” or “chick” in English slang. The first in these series were made of soft materials, such as cloth or yarn, and were essentially life-sized dolls depicting women as brides, mothers, giving birth, and generally celebrating womanhood. As she began to create these in a more monumental format, she switched to using a fiberglass reinforced polyester plastic that could withstand weather, as many of her larger works now reside outdoors. It has been said that Saint Phalle was not only one of the most significant female and feminist artists of the 20th century, but also one of the few to receive recognition amongst the male-dominated art world while she was still alive.

Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle’s art is eclectic and complicated, brave and outspoken. It reveals the unbridled ruminations and opinions of her multifaceted past and transforms them into celebrations of love, life and pure happiness. This transformation reminds us that her work does not simply stand alone, it becomes part of a larger dialogue she created for us to enjoy.
A self-taught sculptor, painter and filmmaker, Saint Phalle made a mark on art history that continues to have an extraordinary dimension. Her work is represented in numerous museums and public collections around the world. In 2000, she received the Praemium Imperiale in Japan, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for the art world. In 2014, the Grand Palais in Paris exhibited a major restropective of her work that traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where it currently resides. Saint Phalle died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California, in 2002.
