The Nanas created by French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) are world famous. These
colourful, exuberantly happy female figures who go through life dancing, leaping and buzzing
with energy have become an iconic image of woman. With controversial pieces like her ‘shooting
pictures’, Niki de Saint Phalle also played a leading role in the European ‘Nouveaux Realisme’
movement, and her monumental sculptures adorn public spaces in many towns and cities. Her
rotund Nanas with their self-confident, independent attitude remain as relevant today as they
were when they were first created.
