A richly illustrated collection of previously unpublished drawings by the famed modern artistThe French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is best known for her Nanas-joyful and brightly colored monumental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 theater sets, clothing, and jewelry. Niki de Saint Phalle: The Sketchbooks presents a beautiful collection of previously unpublished drawings, notes, and other preparatory work from Saint Phalle's private sketchbooks.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.
