Sixties Surreal Tote

Sale price$15.00
This Whitney Shop exclusive tote was produced on the occasion of the Sixties Surreal exhibition and features Marisol's artist statement for the Stable Gallery, c. 1962:

"I like to make contributions that seem incongruous—wood with plaster, pencil drawing on wood—but finally I put things where they belong: a hand at the end of an arm, a nose in the middle of the face, a hat on top of the head, a shoe on a foot, a foot on a leg, a breast on a woman's torso, a mouth a little below the nose and a nostril inside the nose. Sometimes I also make horses and dogs and cats."

The show is an ambitious, scholarly reappraisal of American art from 1958 to 1972, encompassing the work of more than 100 artists. This revisionist survey looks beyond now canonical movements to focus instead on the era’s most fundamental, if underrecognized, aesthetic current—an efflorescence of psychosexual, fantastical, and revolutionary tendencies, undergirded by the imprint of historical Surrealism and its broad dissemination.
