About the Item

Niki de Saint Phalle My Love We Wont, 1968 Lithograph and silkscreen on wove paper Signed and numbered 51/75 in graphite pencil on the front Frame included: elegantly floated and framed in a museum quality white wood frame with UV plexiglass From the Brooklyn Museum, which has an edition of this work in its permanent collection: "Throughout her long and prolific career Niki de Saint Phalle, a former cover model for Life magazine and French Vogue, investigated feminine archetypes and women’s societal roles. Her Nanas, bold, sexy sculptures of the proverbial everywoman, are playful and empowering, while the whimsical lithograph My Love We Won’t offers humorous takes on girlhood obsessions." The text that accompanies the charming images in the work reads: "Free of love" "We won't hold hands anymore" "We won't kiss each other anymore" "We won't swim in the Atlantic" "No more flowers from you" "No more bloody Mary's with olives" "We won't take baths anymore" "New Gun: And I will return to my husband and our dog Caesar and dry their tears" "Your family portrait: please my love dry their tears and forget me" "No more TV dinners" "We won't take that trip we planned" (to Africa, Cape of Good Hope) "We won't listen to Monteverde anymore" "We won't have the children we dreamed of" "We won't live in a house together" "We won't write anymore love letters" "When I am 85 and you are 92 will you still send me a present occasionally to show me you still remember me?" "Last night I had a dream. I dreamt I was a flower and you were a snake and I belonged to you and you belonged to me" This work is elegantly floated and framed in a hand made museum frame with UV plexiglass. Frame is included. Measurements: Framed 22.5 inches vertical by 27 inches horizontal by 2 inches Work 19 inches vertical by 23.75 inches horizontal Accompanied by Certificate of Guarantee issued by Alpha 137 Gallery More about the beloved Niki de Saint Phalle, former Vogue model and wife of Jean-TInguely, recent subject of major retrospective at MOMA PS/1: Niki de Saint Phalle’s exuberant practice emphasized femininity, performance, and collaboration as it rejected notions of the lone male genius. Saint Phalle is perhaps best known for her “Shooting Paintings”—canvases she made by firing a rifle at paint-filled balloons—and her sculptures of extravagant, voluptuous feminine forms, which she dubbed “Nanas.” Her practice included books, prints, films, theater sets, clothing, jewelry, and even perfume. Saint Phalle was also celebrated for her large-scale public works and architectural activations, which can be found around the world. Her most famous, perhaps, is the Tarot Garden sculpture park in the Tuscan countryside. Saint Phalle’s work belongs in the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Museum Ludwig, the Stedelijk Museum, the Tate, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. In 2021, MoMA PS1 mounted a major Saint Phalle retrospective. The artist’s work has sold for seven figures at auction.
