I'm in envy of your glamorous Christmas, appalled by the wanton waste of good furniture, and curious as to whether the lung damage played any part in the creation of her famous eponymous perfume? There can't be two Niki de Saint Phalles, can there?
I hope someday to go see some of her huge crazy sculptures, but meanwhile it’s just gotten below freezing, so I can wear her perfume. Intolerably huge as the sculptures otherwise, but I look forward to it.

You must have tried the perfume - what did you think of it?
It was pretty good and had no lasting effect on my breathing 😉
I like it too, but it is ever so slightly so slightly poisonous.
Wonderful
What an wonderful story! Niki de Saint-Phalle sounds a total badass! Funny how you called your teacher "pretty" and Niki "handsome" :)
Very different things 😉!

Same here. Planning a trip to her Tarot garden in Tuscany next year.
What a wonderful experience! That sculpture is grand and I would love to hear it clicking and clacking.
I could not find a pic of the original, but there is a whole AI website dedicated to imaginary Tinguely sculptures, of which this is one...
Quelle enfance magnifique !
de temps en temps...
What a memory!
What a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing.
