The subchapter on nanas needs some revising they are not mainly white(only her earliest ones and there is a lot of important information missing

i might try to revise over summerbreak

does anyone else have time these days to do it?


I've heard that Niki de Saint Phalle was raped by her father when she was eleven years old. She's apparently even written an article or book about it, titled "Mon Secret" ("My Secret"). Can anyone verify this?

[edit] Mon secret

It was a book, published in 1994 (French language) and referenced on several biographical sites about her. It's out of print, and I can't find a copy on the net.

I was lucky enough to attend Niki in the Garden this weekend in Atlanta. Several of her man chairs are out for sitting on. La Cabeza is there, and even a Skinny.
