Barbara
Chase-Riboud first captured the attention of the art world in the 1970's with
elegant, powerful sculptures in which she merged the hardness of bronze with the
lush softness of woven silk and wool. Over the past three decades, she has continued
to combine materials and mediums in uniquely expressive ways. Her work is represented
in major surveys of Western art and in important private and public collections.
This book presents the first comprehensive overview of the sculptures and drawings
of this important artist.

BATHERS
This sculpture expresses her desire to produce objects, not only from another
time, but also from another planet -- like the mysterious black slab in the film
2001. The mood here is a kind of poetic science fiction of
the past evoking a world one supposes is either a lost civilization, an Atlantis,
which has left us indecipherable artifacts or an announcement of our own death
and destruction. It reminds one of Haggard's She or Lovecraft's
novels. Francoise
Cachin Director National Museums of France

AFRICA
RISING 290
Broadway, New York
Two tons of cast bronze rising in powerful majesty to a height of 18 feet -- Africa
Rising is not a timid memorial to its African Burial Ground site in New
York City, but an ark of collective history. The work conveys the powerful
emotions and meaning of this historic site. The artist's successful use of
substantial scale and permanent materials results in a symbolic landmark sculpture,
stunning in formal beauty and rich in collective history.
