Niki in the Garden

This year marks the Garden’s 50th anniversary, and to celebrate that rich history, the Garden will present a revival of its 2006 sculpture exhibit, Niki in the Garden, May 9 – September 6.

The new exhibit will feature 42 works in what’s believed to be the largest showing of Niki de Saint Phalle’s work ever presented in North America. The late French-American artist was best known for her massive, playful sculptures, particularly her “Nanas” — voluptuous works of women that celebrate femininity — as well as whimsical animals, mythical figures, totems and even sports heroes.
