The exhibit Marisol: A Retrospective will open Saturday at the Toledo Museum of Art, 2445 Monroe St.

The career-spanning exhibition features 244 works, including objects from the museum’s collection. 

“Marisol is an important artist in the Toledo Museum of Art’s collection,” Adam Levine, museum Edward Drummond and Florence Scott Libbey director and CEO, said in an internet posting. “It was natural that we would participate in this landmark exhibition and offer our audience deeper insights into Marisol’s practice, influence and impact. It’s a thought-provoking look into decades of her art practice and her place in the canon.”

The Party (1965-66), made up of 15 wooden sculptures and part of the museum’s collection, depicts guests at “a very elegant ball,” in Marisol’s words.

“Each character conveys an archetype, from the butler to the society lady, while bearing Marisol’s face,” a museum description states.

The exhibition will run through June 2. For more information go to tinyurl.com/Marisolexhibit.
