About the Item
The original poster "Niki stabilisée par Jean Tinguely" for Niki de Saint Phalle represents a collaboration between two of the most iconic and revolutionary artists of the 20th century, Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely. This poster was created for a joint exhibition held from May 12 to June 17 at the Galerie de France and JGM Galerie in Paris, showcasing sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle, which were stabilized through the mechanical and engineering expertise of her longtime partner and fellow artist, Jean Tinguely.
Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) was a French-American sculptor, painter, and filmmaker, known for her bold, colorful, and often provocative works that explored themes of feminism, power, and the human body. She rose to prominence with her "Nanas" sculptures—large, voluptuous figures that celebrated the power and joy of femininity. Her work was characterized by vibrant colors, playful forms, and a fearless approach to political and social issues.
Jean Tinguely (1925–1991), a Swiss artist and a central figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement, was known for his kinetic sculptures and machines that moved in unpredictable and often humorous ways. His work was a commentary on industrialization, consumerism, and the absurdity of modern life. Together, Tinguely and Saint Phalle formed a creative partnership, blending her organic, vibrant designs with his mechanical, moving structures.
The poster itself is a reflection of the dynamic energy between the two artists. It features a stylized, colorful depiction of one of Niki de Saint Phalle’s signature designs, rendered in her typical exuberant style, with flowing lines and bold primary colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green. The abstract figure, adorned with an eye and a variety of organic shapes, is immediately recognizable as part of Saint Phalle’s visual language. Her sculptures often merged human and fantastical forms, creating an otherworldly sense of movement and joy.
Below the colorful central figure, there is a handwritten annotation: "Sculptures de Niki stabilisée par Jean Tinguely," a playful note that references how Tinguely’s mechanical expertise helped bring stability and movement to Saint Phalle’s otherwise free-flowing and abstract forms. Their partnership was more than just creative collaboration; it was a melding of artistic visions that complemented each other—Saint Phalle’s intuitive and organic style balanced by Tinguely’s technical and kinetic brilliance.
This exhibition poster advertises the galleries that hosted the event, with the Galerie de France located at 52, rue de la Verrerie in the 4th arrondissement of Paris and JGM Galerie at 8, bis rue Jacques-Callot in the 6th arrondissement. Both venues were known for showcasing avant-garde artists and fostering innovative exhibitions during the late 20th century.
The collaboration between Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely was one of the most celebrated artistic partnerships of the era. Their work together not only pushed the boundaries of what sculpture could be—blending color, movement, and form in ways never seen before—but also broke new ground in how artistic collaboration could function between two distinct and visionary talents. This poster is a testament to that unique synergy and the powerful results it produced in both their art and personal relationship.
This original poster, created for their joint exhibition, captures the essence of both artists’ contributions to the modern art world, making it a significant piece not only for collectors of Saint Phalle or Tinguely’s work but also for anyone interested in the evolution of 20th-century art and sculpture.

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.
