At the invitation of Pontus Hulten, the founding director of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Swedish artist Per Olov Ultvedt were asked to build an installation in the great hall of the Stockholm museum in May 1966. They chose a walk-in sculpture of a woman: “HON – en Katedral” (SHE – A Cathedral), which was executed rapidly and opened to the public in June.
