Marisol and Warhol - Take New York

Two Icons. One City. A Pop Art Revolution. Travel back to the electric energy of 1960s New York, where two bold, brilliant artists were rewriting the rules of contemporary art. Marisol and Warhol – Take New York charts the parallel rise of Marisol Escobar (1930–2016) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987), capturing the moment when Pop art burst onto the scene—and these two visionaries stepped into the spotlight. This dynamic volume reveals how both artists crafted their personas, built influential gallery relationships, and experimented fearlessly as they carved out their place in art history between 1960 and 1968. Through insightful essays, interviews, and vivid storytelling, the book uncovers the strategies, inspirations, and groundbreaking creativity that propelled their early careers.

Featuring major loans of Marisol’s sculptural works from global collections and iconic pieces, films, and archival gems from The Andy Warhol Museum, the book places their practices in direct conversation. The result is a powerful new perspective that reclaims Marisol’s rightful place as one of Pop art’s leading figures—original, daring, and unforgettable. Edited by Jessica Beck, with contributions from Angie Cruz, Jeffrey Deitch, Eleanor Friedberger, Jennifer Josten, and Franklin Sirmans, this hardcover edition spans 120 pages with 60 stunning color images that bring the era—and the art—to life.

Marisol and Warhol – Take New York is more than a book. It’s a reexamination, a celebration, and a vibrant testament to two artists who shaped a movement and transformed a city forever. Step inside the world where Pop began—and experience the sparks that made art history.
