The Marisol exhibit at the Albright-Knox Gallery, 1285 Elmood Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14222, is a giant WOWZA.

Marisol Escobar bequeathed the entirety of her estate to the museum.  She passed away in 2016.  She was an American artist by way of Venezuala.

The exhibition is a combo of substantial figurative wood sculptures and crayon drawings and watercolors that have a playful quality.  The figures are family members, self-portraits, heads-of-state prominent types and plays on other artists’ works such as a derby toting umbrella man from that famous Magritte painting.

It was a dream come true.  I love Marisol.
