For one thing, Marisol is one of the art worlds most physically beautiful sculptors.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marisol_Escobar

Born Marisol Escobar, she has always gone by just, Marisol. She studied painting under Hans Hofmann and hung out at the Cedar Tavern with the Abstract Expressionists and her friend Willem de Kooning. As a sculptor, she is self-taught but had her first exhibition at The Leo Castelli Gallery. She even appeared in two movies by Andy Warhol.

Much of that is stuff I just found out on the internet about Marisol. But I do know about her. I know her because our museum showed one of her most famous installations, THE COCKTAIL PARTY. It was on permanent loan from 1975 till it was sold recently by the Robert B Mayer Family at Sotheby's New York for $912,000. A steal, even considering the original price in 1966 of $14,250.
