Marisol's 1962 Valentine and Serra's Tilted Arc Declaration Highlight Artcritical Archive
The Baker-Heaslip| Josephine Archives on Artcritical features Marisol's 1962 work 'Marisol’s Love,' described as a Valentine discovered in a bottle. The archive also includes an eleventh-hour declaration concerning Richard Serra's controversial public sculpture 'Tilted Arc,' originally installed in 1981 at Federal Plaza in New York City. The declaration is presented alongside something described as hot and colorful. These archival materials document significant moments in 20th-century art, with Marisol's piece representing a personal, found object from the early 1960s and the Serra item relating to the intense debates surrounding his minimalist steel sculpture, which was ultimately removed in 1989 after public controversy.
