Abstract
Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) was an accomplished French-American artist who worked during the latter half of the twentieth century. She worked in a variety of mediums, and is known largely for her sculptures of abstracted women called Nanas. In this thesis, an attempt is made to construct a narrative timeline of Saint Phalle’s artistic oeuvre, and focuses primarily defending the centrality of one distinct piece: Hon—en katedral (1966). The first section outlines a brief history of Saint Phalle, and then details Hon—en katedral in terms of its conception, construction, reactions, and performative theory. The second section is a narrative chronology, one that focuses specifically on Saint Phalle’s artistic development and each series of works she created from the 1950s to her death in 2002.
