Josefina Albarracín de Barba (1910–2007) was a Colombian sculptor. She was born in Bogotá, and studied at the capitol's Escuela de Bellas Artes. In 1940, she took part in the first Salón de Artistas Colombianos and won the third prize for her piece in wood El Obrero.[1] From the 1940s to the 1960s, she taught at the fine arts school of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.[citation needed]
In 1950, she participated in the eighth edition of the Colombian Artists' Salon and this time won the first prize with her sculpture Muchacha campesina. Among her other noted works are: Cabeza de muchacha, Busto de Montoya y Flórez, and Hombre del mercado.[citation needed]
She was married to the Spanish sculptor Ramón Barba who greatly influenced her work. Barba died in 1965; the following year, Albarracín organized a retrospective on his work at the Biblioteca Luís Ángel Arango in Bogotá.[1]
