Marisol, a Venezuelan-American artist born Mar\u00eda Sol Escobar in Paris in 1930, is a significant yet often overlooked figure in Pop Art. Acclaimed in the 1960s for her glamorous persona and striking life-size sculptures, she garnered fame as a \u201cLatin Garbo\u201d due to her talent, beauty and mystique.\u00a0 Marisol’s art, beyond its Pop Art acclaim, addressed pressing issues of her time, including hunger, interpersonal violence, and modern gender norms. Her work extended into public sculptures and collaborations with dance companies from the 1970s onwards. The retrospective is by far the most extensive survey of Marisol’s work ever, highlighting her contributions from the 1950s to the early 2000s. The exhibition, features pieces from Marisol’s personal collection that were bequeathed to the Buffalo AKG, and aims to reestablish her impact and relevance in art history. Julia V\u00e1zquez, a former Curatorial Fellow at Buffalo AKG, played a key role in organizing this transformative display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To accompany the exhibition, a catalogue has been published in English and French by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, DelMonico Books and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (for the French version). The most comprehensive art book yet dedicated to Marisol, it brings together essays by Cathleen Chaffee, Anna Katherine Brodbeck, Estrellita Brodsky, Alex Da Corte, Jessica S. Hong, Delia Solomons and Julia V\u00e1zquez, as well as an examination of the connections between Marisol\u2019s work and the field of dance written by Mary-Dailey Desmarais, Chief Curator of the MMFA. These reflections on the long arc of Marisol\u2019s career are presented alongside full-color reproductions of the works in the retrospective, an exhibition history, a robust bibliography and an illustrated chronology. FRAME is delighted to have supported the catalogue’s production.<\/p>\n
