BARBARA CHASE-RIBOUD

We will exhibit a tribute by the renowned sculptor and poet Barbara Chase-Riboud to the legendary Josephine Baker (1905–1975), whose transatlantic life mirrors her own, honoring 50 years since the artist met Baker at her final performance and 100 years since the dancer made her debut in Paris. This landmark exhibition celebrates Baker’s enduring legacy through a striking artistic perspective, presenting works that embody the energy and elegance of one of the 20th Century’s most iconic performers. Following the close of her historic eight-museum retrospective in Paris, Chase-Riboud will present in Monaco the two monumental sculptures ‘Josephine Black/Black’ (2022) and ‘Josephine Red/Red’ (2022) alongside complementary works, including the debut of four new forms from her celebrated La Musica series (1990–2025) and works on paper.
