Acrylic paint on resin. Stamped and numbered on the bottom // Niki de Saint Phalle’s Kundalini (1995) is a vibrant and whimsical resin sculpture painted with acrylics, embodying her signature playful and bold aesthetic. The piece is a fantastical representation of the energy associated with the concept of Kundalini, featuring a snake-like form that spirals upward from a bright blue, mask-like base. The sculpture’s vivid palette includes rich blues, reds, oranges, greens, and golds, which are decorated with intricate patterns and motifs that enhance the dynamic movement of the form. The expressive face on the base combines abstract and surreal elements, adding a sense of mystery and character. This piece exemplifies de Saint Phalle’s ability to transform symbolic and spiritual themes into joyful, colorful art that engages the viewer’s imagination.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
