A Quote from Niki (mp3)
Phone: (314) 558-4357 - 12#

By making gay, joyous sculpture maybe Im saying, Look, the world is awful but it is also great.

So lets enjoy its greatness. My work is about color, the changing of colors for dreams and emotionsred, blue, yellow, green, purple. And its about roundness and the curves of nature.

My work gives me hope, enthusiasm, structure. My work is my REAL DIARY.

--Niki de Saint Phalle
