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.

Mission Recherche

Born into a family of art lovers, Dorothée Selz married Catalan artist Antoni Miralda in the late 1960s, with whom she worked until 1972. In 1967, for Christmas, the couple sent their friends a greeting card depicting the baby Jesus in marzipan, wrapped in a plastic case; this creation began a long artistic research effort around food and our eating habits. Inscribing her work in the wake of the Eat Art movement, the artist created “ephemeral edible sculptures”: unusual objects, urban landscapes, monumental sculptures, where the visual, the gustatory and the festive combine. In 1970, Dorothée organized a meal in four colors, where each guest could eat a monochrome dish in blue, red, yellow and green. Along with her husband and the Catalan artists Joan Rabascall and Jaume Xifra, she formed the group of "colorist caterers," who perform around food, reactivating social forms of sharing and exchange.
