Marisol
All My Shoes for Ten Years (Detail)
1974
An official Louisiana exhibition poster kept in circulation by the museum's own shop.
Marisol Escobar, known simply as Marisol, developed sculptural ensembles in the 1960s that combined carved wood, found objects, drawing, plaster and photographic elements. Her groups parody family portraiture, celebrity, gender roles and social performance while retaining a handmade, deliberately awkward physicality.
