Those works open the exhibition itinerary of the largest retrospective ever dedicated to her in an Italian museum, curated by Lucia Pesapane, in collaboration with the Niki Charitable Art Foundation.

110 works including about twenty large ones, together with the works for the Maison Dior, videos, and interviews, tell the pop version of the art of the last century, in a feminine key. Or rather, feminist.

After the shooting, Niki de Saint Phalle will continue her journey to destroy all the roles that are imposed on women in history, until changing the paradigm. In fact, at the end of the 60s and in the 70s the figure of Nana appears, at the same time an ancient Sumerian deity of the Euphrates River and a ruler during her childhood years in New York.

She will make many Nanas, in different materials, but all sinuous, welcoming and playful in that pop version of the ancient divinity of the Great Mother that updates ancestral stories of every people.

Nana is generative and creative, so much so that she has the power to give shape and life to a matriarchal society, ready to fight for gender equality and diversity.

Niki's life has changed profoundly, she separates from her husband and children to start a new adventure with her partner Jean Tinguely with whom she shared her life and the atelier.

This time he chases joy. That of expressing himself, of telling his story, as he does in the Tarot Garden, a monumental park near Capalbio with 22 sculptures related to the 22 cards.

But he never forgets marginalization and AIDS, equality and inclusion will be discussed from the 90s onwards, up to late works that want to tell the most recent environmental battles.
