Of all the Pop artists of the 1960s, Marisol remains the most enigmatic. By examining and contextualizing her work over its long arc from the 1950s to the early 2000s, this internationally touring retrospective, the most comprehensive survey of Marisol Escobar’s work ever assembled, demonstrates the extraordinary relevance of the legendary artist’s unique vision of culture and society.
