About the Item
Niki de Saint Phalle, L'ombre et la Lumiere (Shadow and Light) is a French-English book by Numa Hambursin, published in 2019.
This bilingual catalogue presents the works brought together for the exhibition Niki de Saint-Phalle: Shadow and Light, which was presented simultaneously in Cannes at the Centre d'art la Malmaison and the Villa Domergue. On a vast chronological scale, from 1952 to 2002, all types of media are represented, including drawings, "Shoot" paintings, sculptures, mosaics, and totems created towards the end of the artist's life.
The list of exhibited works specifies the label, with a brief note for the major works. Accompanied by biographical references, this catalog will help the general public learn about an artist who appeals to both the popular and the initiated, a duality that the author, Numa Hambursin, emphasizes through the transition from "shadow to light."
The status of the artist is indeed a question in this work: the biographical references present a woman between icon and artist, thus reporting on the reception of Niki de Saint-Phalle's work, while the text is that of an art critic, who relates his encounter with this work: "It is challenging to write about Niki de Saint-Phalle, because each statement contains its paradox, each light its shadow. In my lost confusion, I remain forever lost in its labyrinth." This is therefore a subjective approach adopted by a critic who confesses to having previously paid little attention to the artist he is now illuminating. Thus, his points of comparison are also very subjective: Niki de Saint-Phalle is compared to Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, and Takashi Murakami through the question of childhood.
He reports on observations made by spectators of these works, notably a father and his young son, taken as a measure of collective appreciation. This personal position is assumed, and the question posed at the beginning of the work is rehabilitation. Numa Hambursin's disappearance from the artistic scene at the start of the 21st century is notable. This disappearance could be explained by the death of Pierre Restany, which nevertheless opens the field of research on the actors of New Realism to other theorists.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle’s art is eclectic and complicated, brave and outspoken. It reveals the unbridled ruminations and opinions of her multifaceted past and transforms them into celebrations of love, life and pure happiness. This transformation reminds us that her work does not simply stand alone, it becomes part of a larger dialogue she created for us to enjoy.
A self-taught sculptor, painter and filmmaker, Saint Phalle made a mark on art history that continues to have an extraordinary dimension. Her work is represented in numerous museums and public collections around the world. In 2000, she received the Praemium Imperiale in Japan, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for the art world. In 2014, the Grand Palais in Paris exhibited a major restropective of her work that traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where it currently resides. Saint Phalle died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California, in 2002.
