This April, Salon 94 is proud to present our second solo exhibition of French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, featuring five works of her late-career Tableaux Éclatés, the series first exhibited in her retrospective at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris in 1993. Joining the Tableaux Éclatés is Saint Phalle’s fountain, La femme et L'oiseau fontaine (1967-1988), installed inside for the first time following its U.S. debut at the artist’s MoMA PS1 retrospective in 2021. Bursting with streaming water, a bathing suit-clad Nana balances, arms outstretched in joyful proclamation, atop a bird whose wings mirror her gesture of open embrace. La femme et L'oiseau fontaine follows Saint Phalle’s commitment to public art, specifically fountains, the most famous of which, Fontaine Igor Stravinsky (1983), greets visitors to Paris’ Centre Pompidou.
