A tale of two Pop artists in 1960s New York
This book charts the emergence of Marisol Escobar (1930–2016) and Andy Warhol (1928–87) in New York during the dawn of Pop art in the early 1960s. Through essays, interviews and prose, the book explores the artists’ parallel rise to success, the formation of their artistic personas, their savvy navigation of gallery relationships and the blossoming of their early artistic practices from 1960 to 1968. The exhibition features key loans of Marisol’s work from major global collections, along with iconic works and rarely seen films and archival materials from the Andy Warhol Museum’s collection. By situating Marisol's work in dialogue with Warhol’s, this new collection of writing seeks to reclaim the importance of her art; reframe the strength, originality and daring nature of her work; and reconsider her as one of the leading figures of the Pop era.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Hyperallergic
Karen Chernik
About how Marisol influenced [Warhol], not vice versa.
New York Times: Arts
Joseph B. Treaster
Marisol shares the stage with Warhol — but instead of drowning her out, he amplifies her. They worked on some of the same subjects...They had an intriguing way of speaking a little and suggesting a lot that nurtured a sense of glamour and mystery and that some experts say Warhol may have picked up from her.
New York Times: Arts
Ted White
Gives Latin-American contributions to Pop their due.
Artnet
Katie White
A testament to both artists’ friendship as well as to their shared artistic interests, and convincingly positions Marisol as an artist of equal savvy, with a cult of personality all her own.

Featured image—a still from Andy Warhol’s 1963 silent 16mm film, “Marisol—Stop Motion”—is reproduced from Marisol and Warhol Take New York, published to accompany the exhibition opening April 15 at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Warhol called Marisol “the first girl artist with glamour,” musician Eleanor Friedberger writes, “but ‘Marisol—Stop Motion’ wasn’t just another screen test of a vacant, beautiful face. Here, Warhol gives Marisol agency: she moves around like a busy bee, shows us her artwork and mirrors her sculptures. We want to know more about her.” continue to blog
