Niki de Saint Phalle Jean Tinguely Per Olof Ultvedt bygger Hon

This documentary from

the creation of the now

legendary exhibition

Moderna Museet in 1966

is practically without dialogue, but nevertheless

reveals the close cooperation between

three artists. Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely

and P O Ultvedt set out to do something

together, without any fixed plans. This leads

to a crisis meeting in Ultvedt’s home, and

a concept that no visitor to the museum that

a monumental sculpture and a small-format

cultural centre. A female figure simmering

with life – a cinema, exhibition space, aquarium

and cafe.

The artists Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely

and P O Ultvedt are intimately linked with

Moderna Museet’s early history. To this day,

Phalle and Tinguely standing outside the

museum is one of the most important and

loved works in the collection.
