The Mexican Years

This much-anticipated publication will have an introductory text by well-known writer Masayo Nonaka, curator of the exhibition Women Surrealists in Mexico and author of numerous books on Mexican surrealism. Masayo’s text will offer a unique insight into the life and work of Remedios Varo. Richly illustrated, the volume will present the painter’s most important works. Through the forthcoming exhibition In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States, to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in 2012 and then at a venue in Canada, Remedios Varo’s work will also gain exposure to a wider audience.
