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.

The portrait offers the possibility of observation and
introspection, and is at the same time one of the most private and
representative artistic genres. But what distinguishes the
specifically female gaze? On the occasion of the major fall
exhibition 2021 at Fondation Beyeler, this catalog brings together
nine women artists from Europe and America from the beginning of
modernism to the present day, whose works represent an outstanding
contribution to the history of the portrait. The individual view of
the artists on themselves and on their surroundings in the course
of time is expressed. In the catalog, renowned authors explore the
individual artists and their fascinating ways of reflecting on
themselves and on others. The featured artists are Mary Cassatt,
Marlene Dumas, Frida Kahlo, Lotte Laserstein, Paula
Modersohn-Becker, Berthe Morisot, Alice Neel, Elizabeth Peyton, and
Cindy Sherman.
