1995

The wife of King Ahashverosh, King of Persia, Queen Vashti was commanded to appear before the King (and his banquet) unclothed, wearing only the royal crown. She refused and was executed for her defiance (Book of Esther.) Baskin’s work often portrayed the nobility of the marginalized in the face of oppression, whether that be for reasons of gender, race, religion or belief. The bronze followed a watercolor series of Biblical women.
