Niki de Saint Phalle in the 1960s
From the publisher’s website:
This volume is a focused look at two bodies of work, the Tirs (“shooting paintings”) and Nanas (“dames”), in the experimental 1960s practice of the French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002). Alongside a poetic response to the work, four essays treat Saint Phalle’s oeuvre as works of radical performance and feminist art, as well as highlighting her transatlantic projects and collaborations. A chronology with photo-documentation and known participants details for the first time all Tirs shooting events in Europe and the United States, and another timeline recaps Saint Phalle’s life in the 1960s.
Designed by Lorraine Wild and Xiaoqing Wang from Green Dragon Office, the whole book is set in SangBleu Sunrise only.
The signs for the exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, which ran from April to July 2022, were also designed using the same typeface. The exhibition can still be experienced in a 3D virtual tour.
SangBleu Sunrise is part of the SangBleu family, available from Swiss Typefaces.
