Νικι ντε Σανφάλ -Αλέξανδρος Ιόλας

1965
Inspired by Clarice Rivers' pregnancy, Niki creates in April her first Nanas in cloth and wool. In August, a twelve-page article on Niki written by Monique Jacot appears in the Swiss art magazine DU. In September, Niki presents her Nanas in a solo exhibition at the Galerie Alexandre Iolas in Paris, which concurrently publishes the first book on Niki de Saint Phalle, with a handwritten text by the artist as well as some drawings of Nanas. At Iolas' suggestion, Niki begins to produce signature printed materials to promote and add to her exhibitions, including catalogues, posters, brochures, and invitation cards. Niki makes her first series of silkscreen prints.
