Love fest for @candida_alvarez_studio — this overdue retrospective exhibition at @elmuseo squarely demonstrates the incredible range of this genius artist. So, proud! Don’t miss it — you’ll be awed by her use of color, materials, and themes over the years, as well as her humor and immense humanity.
