A tale of two Pop artists in 1960s New York This book charts the emergence of Marisol Escobar (1930-2016) and Andy Warhol (1928-87) in New York during the dawn of Pop art in the early 1960s. Through essays, interviews and prose, the book explores the artists' parallel rise to success, the formation of their artistic personas, their savvy navigation of gallery relationships and the blossoming of their early artistic practices from 1960 to 1968. The exhibition features key loans of Marisol's work from major global collections, along with iconic works and rarely seen films and archival materials from the Andy Warhol Museum's collection. By situating Marisol's work in dialogue with Warhol's, this new collection of writing seeks to reclaim the importance of her art; reframe the strength, originality and daring nature of her work; and reconsider her as one of the leading figures of the Pop era.

The illustrated, adorable, and always grinning Gator is cute enough for kids of all ages, and mischievous enough to cause adults to enjoy his amusing antics over SEC and longtime rivals. Most of all the books represent the fun-loving but competitive spirit of 90,000+ fans who pour into Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for each and every home game--from the Gator mascot cooking the Kitty-Cats of Kentucky, LSU and Auburn for a tailgate snack to the beatification of Steve Spurrier in a re-creation of the Sistine Chapel mural. These books will make the perfect gift anytime of the year for Gator and baby Gator fans alike.
