An exploration of the captivating work and mystical outlook of the
modern artist Remedios Varo, focusing on her years in Mexico City
 This publication offers a definitive look at the artistic
practice of Remedios Varo (1908–1963) following her emigration
from Spain to Mexico City in 1941. Her work from 1955 to 1963 made
a lasting contribution to modern art and the legacy of Surrealism.
In Remedios Varo: Science Fictions, 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.
