This grant to four of eight national Parisian art institutions supports the first multi-museum celebration to be presented in the city in honor of a single artist in their lifetime: the sculptor, draftswoman, and author Barbara Chase-Riboud. Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Orsay, Musée du Louvre, Musée du Quai Branly, Musée Guimet, Musée Picasso, Palais de la Porte Dorée, Palais de Tokyo, and Philharmonie de Paris each present a specific series of Chase Riboud’s works in conversation with their permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, creating dialogues with art and artists such as the ancient Egyptian and Greek sculptors, Benin bronzes, Constantin Brancusi, Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Lee Bontecou, and Louise Bourgeois. An English- and French-language catalogue co-published by the Louvre accompanies the exhibitions.
