Niki de Saint Phalle created her shooting paintings in the 1960s by filling plastic baggies and jars with colored paint, covering them and other objects attached to a board with plaster and white paint, then shooting them with a .22 rifle. Join Assistant Objects Conservator Joy Bloser as she discusses the intricacies of conservation in the care of these inherently unstable and fragile works of art.
Held on Fridays for a small group, Member Noontime Talks make exhibitions more intimate and reveal the collection as never before. To sign up, please RSVP to membership@menil.org. If you are not currently a Menil Member, you can learn more and join here.
