“The Encounter: Barbara Chase-Riboud/Alberto Giacometti” opens today

Inspired by their meeting in Paris, this exhibition places in dialogue the work of these two expatriate sculptors, who both looked to the past in order to reimagine the art of their time, and follows Chase-Riboud's practice from that moment in Paris to the present. 

The Encounter brings together a large bronze and group of plaster sculptures by Alberto Giacometti—five of which are from his landmark Femmes de Venise (Women of Venice)—with works from across Barbara Chase-Riboud's seven-decade career. From her signature commemorative sculptures to her monumental projects for public space, the exhibition traces the development and ambitious scope of her practice.
