"Résines d'art R.

No. 67, reproduced on the cover and page 101 of the catalog *La Sphinge*, produced by the long-standing mold maker Gérard Haligon, is a limited-edition work that embodies the quintessence of Niki de Saint Phalle’s explorations of the Great Goddess. Adorned with bright colors and gold leaf, this piece embodies the artist’s pop art universe. Serving as a true bridge between collectible sculpture and architecture, this edition enabled Niki de Saint Phalle to finance her monumental masterpiece—the Tarot Garden—entirely on her own. OH
