Discover the Niki de Saint Phalle Exhibition at the Grand Palais

Staying in Paris and immersing yourself in the world of modern art has become an absolute must. Don’t miss the Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, and Pontus Hultén exhibition, on display at the Grand Palais from June 26, 2025, to January 4, 2026.

An Iconic Duo of Contemporary Art

The exhibition celebrates the legendary couple Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) and Jean Tinguely (1925–1991), united by a bold and subversive artistic vision. Their collaborative work, full of creativity and innovation, challenges conventions and offers an immersive experience where art, love, and commitment come together.

Through the perspective of Pontus Hultén (1924–2006), the first director of the Musée National d’Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou and a devoted supporter of the couple, the exhibition traces the most emblematic moments of their careers. Hultén contributed to the international recognition of Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely through acquisitions, retrospectives, and spectacular projects such as the Nana at Moderna Museet or the Le Crocrodrome exhibition at the Centre Pompidou.

An Exceptional Exhibition at the Grand Palais

During the Centre Pompidou’s renovation closure, the Grand Palais hosts this exceptional exhibition, offering a unique dive into Niki de Saint Phalle’s world. The Grand Palais National Galleries, freshly restored, provide a prestigious and historic setting where the public can engage with the art of this iconic duo.
