AceArdor+FollowBronze, Silk, and Secret Lives in SoHo’s Cast Iron HeartA new chapter unfolds in SoHo’s storied art scene as Hauser & Wirth opens its doors with a solo exhibition by Barbara Chase-Riboud. Known for weaving together sculpture, poetry, and history, Chase-Riboud brings her tribute to Josephine Baker—a performer who doubled as a WWII spy and civil rights icon—to the heart of New York’s Cast Iron District. The show’s centerpiece: three striking bronze sculptures from the “La Musica” series, where folded metal and vivid textiles echo Baker’s layered legacy. This marks Chase-Riboud’s first solo with the gallery since joining earlier this year, and it follows her celebrated appearances at Frieze London and major museum retrospectives. Hauser & Wirth’s move into 134 Wooster Street revives a space once pulsing with 90s art history, adding a fresh note to SoHo’s creative symphony. In this gallery, the echoes of Baker’s resilience and Chase-Riboud’s vision intertwine, inviting visitors to discover new harmonies in old streets. #BarbaraChaseRiboud #JosephineBaker #SoHoArt #Culture00Share
