Buffalo AKG Art Museum Hosts Monumental Exhibition on Marisol
Marisol, born María Sol Escobar, is the subject of an exhibition at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. This under-the-radar artist from the Pop Art scene, hailing from Venezuela and America, gained recognition for her bizarre, lifelike sculptures created from wood and molds of her own body. Her artworks frequently featured friends, family members, as well as renowned personalities like John F. Kennedy and Pablo Picasso. Among her most notable pieces is a portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe, inspired by photographs taken during her visit to New Mexico.
