The early 1980s were a period of intense activity for Baya. In 1982, a major retrospective was organized at the Musée Cantini in Marseille, on the initiative of Edmonde Charles-Roux, who had already covered Baya at her 1st solo exhibition at the Galerie Maeght, and painted her portrait in Vogue in February 1948. Baya took the opportunity to stay with Marguerite Caminat (1903-1989), her adoptive mother, near the home of Mireille and Jean de Maisonseul, her lifelong supporters. 1989 was marked by the death of Marguerite Caminat, her adoptive mother.
During this decade, Baya exhibited in 1983 at the Galerie de l'Union nationale des Arts plastiques in Algiers; in 1984 at the Centre culturel français in Algiers and at the Centre culturel algérien in Paris; in 1985 at the Centre culturel français in Oran and at the Galerie de l'Aurassi in Algiers; in 1987 at the Musée National des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie in Paris, then at La Vieille Charité in Marseille with Issiakhem and Khadda; in 1989 at several group exhibitions in Europe, "Contemporary Art from the Islamic World" in London, "Signes et désert" in Brussels with Arezki Larbi, Denis Martinez and Choukri Mesli (cf. previous lots).
