Who else wishes they were in New York to see the new Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition at MoMA PS1? Spanning all aspects of the late French-American artist’s diverse and wonderfully colourful output—including painting, sculpture, architectural projects and film—the show explores how Saint Phalle “envisioned new ways of inhabiting the world… [firm in her] belief that art can alter perception and shift reality.” In this brilliant shot by the French photographer Robert Doisneau, Saint Phalle sits alongside the vast protagonists of her 1971 piece The Tea Party, her expression one of comic disinterest.
