This richly illustrated book present 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...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.
Review:
"The eloquence of Chase-Riboud's own words underlines the rather prosaic quality of the main texts, which do not share the finesse and complexity of the artist's work. The book is nonetheless valuable for its wealth of images and as a general introduction to Chase-Riboud's socially engaged and sensually satisfying art. "
Suzanne Ramljak, New York Times, 4/16/00
