Series: The Sketchbooks
A richly illustrated collection of previously unpublished drawings by the famed modern artist

The French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is best known for her Nanas

joyful and brightly coloured monumental sculptures of goddess-like female figures. But her work, which was grounded in her visionary beliefs about social experiments and personal freedom, ranged much more widely

from painting, film, architecture, and books to theatre sets, clothing, and jewellery. Niki de Saint Phalle: The Sketchbooks presents a beautiful collection of previously unpublished drawings, notes, and other preparatory work from Saint Phalle's private sketchbooks. Culled from a vast archive of never-before-seen materials, these drawings shed new light on Saint Phalle's fascinating artistic evolution, style, and interior life.
