Niki de Saint Phalle: Between Revolt and Dreams
The Médiathèque de Monaco welcomes Cécilia Auber on 5 November 2026 for an evening conference exploring the life, work and creative universe of Niki de Saint Phalle. The talk offers an accessible introduction to an artist whose practice moved between sculpture, painting, performance, public art and deeply personal forms of visual expression.
An artist between rebellion and imagination
Cécilia Auber examines the tensions that shaped Saint Phalle’s work: revolt and play, violence and colour, autobiography and collective experience. The conference is designed as a cultural encounter rather than a formal academic lecture, giving the audience context for understanding the artist’s best-known visual language and the ideas that sit behind it.
The event forms part of the Médiathèque de Monaco’s November programme of free cultural activities, which includes talks, screenings, literary encounters and public discussions throughout the month.
Good to know
The conference is scheduled for Thursday 5 November 2026 at 6:30 PM. Admission is free and open to the public. No verified end time is published, so only the confirmed start time is shown.
