She arrived in Paris in 1925 and stopped the city in its tracks.
Now she arrives again, in charcoal and gold, inside JOSEPHINE.
This is an original signed artwork of Josephine Baker by artist Ava Limerick. Charcoal. Gold accents at the wrists, waist, and ankles — catching the light the way the brass inlay catches it on the floor below. Mid-movement. Feathered. Free.
She is the soul of this vignette made visible.
When I named this space JOSEPHINE, I meant it as a spirit, a force, a legacy, a way of entering a room. Ava Limerick drew her here so you could see exactly what I meant.
