Mariane Ibrahim.

Mariane Ibrahim is honored to present Lorraine O’Grady, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Paris and her second with the gallery. This special presentation, the first since O’Grady’s passing in December 2024, aims to celebrate the artist’s extraordinary legacy.

Featuring work spanning four decades (1981-2021), the exhibition examines O’Grady’s revolutionary conceptual practice and the critical yet nuanced ways in which she engaged tensions around race, gender, and colonialism. Guided by the rebellious and powerful nature of the iconic personas the artist created during her career–from her earliest, Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, to her most recent, the Knight–the exhibition explores four distinct periods within O’Grady’s oeuvre, in which performance consistently played a central role and a unifying vision.

On view April 3 through May 31, 2025
