Alexander Archipenko's sculpture “La Negresse” was exhibited for the first time in 1912. It was a stone cast that is in private Swedish ownership today. With the artist's permission, the owner had two bronzes versions of this stone cast by the Pettersson foundry in Hägersten, Sweden. The present work is one of these two bronzes.
