Description:
Barbara Chase-Riboud is one of the most significant and original artists of
her generation-a sculptor whose dramatic explorations of literary and
historical themes have earned her a presence in major museums around the
world.
This richly illustrated book presents the first comprehensive overview of
Chase-Riboud's 30-year career as a sculptor and draftsman. Distinguished art
historians Peter Selz and Anthony F. Janson show how history, archaeology,
spiritualism, the Baroque tradition, and Chase-Riboud's parallel career as a
poet-novelist (Sally Hemings, Echo of Lions) have influenced her work, from
the Malcolm X, Tantra, Zanzibar, and Cleopatra series to her recent monument
Africa Rising, the award-winning New York City landmark that commemorates a
colonial slave-era African-American burial ground.
