At the end of 1971, Niki de Saint Phalle was asked to create a monumental sculpture for children in Jerusalem, in a garden in the working-class district of Kiryat Hayovel. The artist imagined a black-and-white head over eight meters high, which she named the Golem.
Traditionally, the Golem is a protective creature born of clay and magic. Niki de Saint Phalle reinterprets it as a monumental slide, where children find refuge in its immense smile. Far from being a silent guardian, he becomes a living playmate.
In this lithograph, Niki de Saint Phalle brings the Golem to life. The three tongue-twisters become paths of adventure, where we can sense the pleasure of children having fun.

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.
