Russian-born Art Impresario Has Local Roots
Maria Baibakova moved to Fort Lee before she was a teenager and is now making a major splash in the international art scene.
A profile in the New York Times recently took a minute look into the life of Maria Baibakova, a Russian-born socialite and visual arts impresario with local connections.
Baibakova was raised in Moscow in the “final years of the crumbling Soviet Union,” but moved to Fort Lee, along with her mother, at the age of 10. Here she excelled at local public schools, and at the Dwight-Englewood School in nearby Englewood, according to the Times.
