Marisol Escobar by Jillian Steinhauer

“Marisol was among the most highly respected artists of the 1960s. As the decades passed, she was inappropriately written out of that history … Her inimitable sculptures and works on paper address some of the most compelling and topical issues of the last half century, from women’s roles and the disenfranchised, to a discussion of creativity and old age. Her works remain as important today as they were when she made them.” hyperallergic.com
