Description
Niki DE SAINT PHALLE (1930–2002) “The Sphinx or the Sphinge” (Tarot Garden, Card III), 1990 Sculpture in polychrome polyester resin, vinyl paint. Metal signature stamp and proof 2/4 EA on the underside. ‘Résines d’art R. Haligon’ stamp on the underside. 27 x 43 x 30 cm Minor chips and soiling Exhibition: Niki de Saint-Phalle, “From Assemblages to Monumental Works”. Angers, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 23 June to 15 September 2004. No. 67, reproduced on the cover and on page 101 of the catalogue ‘La Sphinge’, produced by the long-standing mould-maker Gérard Haligon, is a limited-edition work that epitomises Niki de Saint Phalle’s exploration of the Great Goddess. Clad in bright colours and gold leaf, this piece embodies the artist’s pop art world. Acting as a true bridge between collectable sculpture and architecture, this edition enabled Niki de Saint Phalle to finance her monumental masterpiece – the Jardin des Tarots – entirely independently.
