Book synopsis

A sweeping retrospective for radical Pop artist Marisol, an enigmatic and overlooked figure of the 1960s

Marisol (1930-2016) was one of the most radical and visionary artists of her generation. Combining found objects, plaster casts of her own body, and a singular blend of Pop and folk art, she created large tableaux that were by turns unsettling and humorous, colorful and dark. Her works posed sharp existential questions and made powerful statements on entrenched gender roles and equality. A close friend of Andy Warhol and a fixture in his early experimental films, Marisol enjoyed critical acclaim in the United States during the 1960s. In the following decade, she turned away from Pop toward more overtly political art, challenging the public and critics alike. Undeterred by changing tastes, she pursued an uncompromising practice across sculpture, drawing, printmaking and photography.
This book accompanies the first major European presentation of Marisol's work, reclaiming her position as a forgotten classic through a swath of pieces spanning her career. Essays explore her place among female Pop artists, the gendered readings of her sculptures and the remarkable breadth of her creative vision.
