Description

Niki de Saint Phalle

1930 - 2002

Daddy (Film stills from Daddy, directed by Niki de Saint Phalle and Peter Whitehead)


with printed artist name and title

the set, containing 14 colour offset prints and six posters

each image: 214 by 270 mm. 8⅜ by 10⅝ in.

each sheet: 240 by 297 mm. 9½ by 11¾ in.

Executed in 1972.

These prints are film stills taken from Niki de Saint-Phalle’s first movie “Daddy”. Based on her own story, the movie represents an attempt to a therapeutic confrontation with her father. Through facing the taboos and depression of her private story, she creates a feminist affirmation and denunciation of the power of man in society. 

In her recognizable manner, some of the images are highlighted in bright colours. These works have been printed in offset from her original hand colouring.
