Fans of Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely will delight in this first ever collection of their radiant posters.
Niki de Saint Phalle's bold, colorful work lent itself perfectly to graphic design when she started producing posters in the early 1970s. Likewise, her partner Jean Tinguely began creating poster art around the same time. Both artists developed their talent in this genre and this lively collection offers brilliant reproductions of their most important posters, many of which the two artists collaborated on together. This selection includes posters with Niki de Saint Phalle's signature "Nanas," Jean Tinguely's abstract chromatic compositions and some posters on which the two artists collaborated. This beautifully produced volume includes an enlightening introduction by Isabel Siben and an appendix with a catalog raisonne of 150 posters by both artists.

A scintillating story about the love and work of two people who together epitomized the avant-garde of the late twentieth century.
One of modern art's most productive relationships, the story of Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely is a tale of passion and creativity that started, literally, with a bang when the two artists met while working on their respective seminal exhibitions. Tinguely was taking the art world by storm with his self-destructing piece, "Homage to New York." De Saint Phalle was creating her infamous gunshot performances. Together these iconoclastic geniuses would challenge convention and each other with their visions, collaborating on such major projects as the Tarot Garden in Tuscany, the Paradis Fantastique for the 1967 Expo in Montreal, and the Golem playground in Jerusalem. These and other works are beautifully reproduced in this artistic "duography" that covers the life and work of each of these artists from 1955 when they met, through Tinguely's death in 1991.
