Niki de Saint Phalle — Serpent Table

Niki de Saint Phalle

Serpent Table

A vibrant and whimsical functional sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle, the Serpent Table features a sinuous snake form rendered in resin and polyester, brought to life through the artist's signature bold and joyful palette. The undulating serpent serves as both a structural and decorative element, reflecting de Saint Phalle's enduring fascination with mythological and symbolic creatures. True to her celebrated Nana sculptures and Tarot Garden works, this piece blurs the boundary between fine art and everyday object, transforming a domestic furnishing into a celebration of color and organic form.
