Summary:
"Marisol remains perhaps the most intriguing and least understood artist associated with Pop art-one whose celebrity nearly overshadowed her formidable accomplishments. This catalogue, the most comprehensive on Marisol's work ever assembled, accompanies a major traveling retrospective organized by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum that reckons with the entirety of her pioneering, multifaceted, nearly sixty-year career, illuminating the potency and contemporary relevance of her vast practice. Assessments by leading scholars that affirm Marisol's radical legacy for the twenty-first century include essays by exhibition organizer Cathleen Chaffee, Anna Katherine Brodbeck, Estrellita Brodsky, Alex Da Corte, Mary-Dailey Desmarais, Jessica Hong, Delia Solomons, and Julia Vázquez, and contributions by Jason Hose. These exciting examinations of and reflections on the long arc of Marisol's career are presented alongside full-color reproductions of the works featured in the retrospective, a robust bibliography, an exhibition history, and an illustrated chronology"-- Provided by publisher.
