Mission Recherche

Mythical couple, Niki de Saint Phalle (1930 - 2002) and Jean Tinguely (1925 - 1991) are united by an unbreakable artistic bond and a shared vision of creation as an act of rebellion against established norms. The exhibition retraces the prolific itinerary of these two artists through the figure of Pontus Hultén (1924 - 2006), the first director of the Musée National d'Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou, who shared their conception of a disruptive, multidisciplinary and participatory art. Throughout his career, he provided unconditional support to Saint Phalle and Tinguely, by acquiring works, dedicating retrospectives, giving them carte blanche and supporting extraordinary projects such as the gigantic Nana Hon - en Katedral (1966) at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, the exhibition Le Crocrodrome de Zig et Puce (1977) in the Centre Pompidou's Forum, and La Fontaine Stravinsky (1983) at the foot of the building. Drawn from the rich collections of the Centre Pompidou and major loans from French and foreign institutions, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Pontus Hultén invites visitors to discover or rediscover the emblematic works of these two major artists, brought to life by an exceptional museum director, in a historical and entertaining journey where art, love, friendship and commitment are intertwined.
