Niki de Saint Phalle’s longtime assistant, Lech Juretko, still repairs each elaborate sculpture, stone-by-stone. But the cities that own the works of public art can’t always provide enough funding for necessary maintenance.
"Niki de Saint Phalle in the 1960s" opens April 9 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla, the first exhibition in the renovated museum. It covers a radical decade in the artist's career.
