Ritournelle, Bridgehamptons
“In 1960, Jean-Paul Riopelle presented individual exhibitions in Paris at the Galerie Kléber, which would become the Galerie Jean Fournier, and at the Galerie Jacques Dubourg. He spent more than a year in East Hampton, in the United States. He rented a workshop where he worked, among other things, on sculpting pieces to make up a chess game. Constantly seeking to innovate, Riopelle uses increasingly varied techniques and materials.“.
Excerpt from the biography of Jean-Paul Rioppelle by the Jean-Paul Riopelle Foundation, The 1960s: The Experiment. https://fondationriopelle.com/jean-paul-riopelle/
During this year of 1960, Riopelle began his sculpture work, but also created a series of watercolours and Indian ink which he called the Bridgehamptons series.
