The Albino 1972

"The Albino" (1972) is a striking sculpture by Barbara Chase-Riboud. The work consists of two long, black fabric strands that hang from the ceiling and converge at the bottom, forming a large, bundled mass. This piece represents a powerful exploration of the artist's themes of race, identity, and the human condition. Chase-Riboud often uses materials associated with African American culture and history to create works that are both beautiful and thought-provoking.
