Her work from 1955 to 1963 made a lasting contribution to modern art and the legacy of Surrealism. In \u003ci\u003eRemedios Varo: Science Fictions\u003c\/i\u003e, fresh historical and material findings establish the integral relationship between Varo's layered interests--in alchemy, architecture, magic, mysticism, philosophy, and science--and her beguiling technical approach to art making. Essays detail specific works' complex stories and spectacular surfaces. An illustrated taxonomy of Varo's artistic techniques, including automatic mark making as well as careful manipulation of materials and media, offers new insights into the artist's craft. An illustrated inventory of a major portion of Varo's library--published here for the first time--reveals the artist's engagement with a wide range of subjects. Stunning new photography of many of her artworks are presented within a dynamic geometric design inspired by the artist's work. Situating Varo as a woman working in midcentury Mexico City and living among a tight-knit community of local and émigré artists, poets, and thinkers, the catalogue illuminates the complex worldview that shaped her search for individual and collective transcendence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago, in partnership with the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eArt Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (July 29, 2023-November 27, 2023) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaitlin Haskell\u003c\/b\u003e is Gary C. and Frances Comer Curator in Modern and Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eTere Arcq\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent curator, art historian, and the former chief curator of the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 12 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44288114720870,"sku":"9780300273212","price":53.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/b2NPuzxwm59780300273212.webp?v=1766680630","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/remedios-varo-science-fictions-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
