Frimkess’ sculptural ceramics draw from an eclectic repertoire of cartoons and masterworksPublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.This book presents the work of Venezuelan artist Magdalena Suarez Frimkess (born 1929) and features a selection of her works from the ’70s to the present, including utilitarian objects, decorative figures and tiles. Her pieces are imbued with an equal sense of humor and dread. Their fragility and precarity increase the expressive power of these funny, outrageous, grotesque objects, which often seem as though they might collapse before our eyes at any moment. In her studio, one is likely to encounter figurines inspired by Japanese horses or vintage American cartoons; vases ornamented with patterns from the ancient Americas; and tiles, plates and cups decorated with flowers or scenes from her life in Venice. A trio of characters recur throughout her oeuvre: a distressed Olive Oyl, an oblivious Minnie Mouse and the savvy Condorito—a Chilean cartoon from the ’50s that is still very popular in Latin America. Frimkess affirms the wisdom of these cartoons; in her eyes, they are philosophers.

In 2021, La Ribot presented Distinguished Anyways at the Spanish Academy in Rome, four pieces that played with sunlight and paint, as part of her project, "Distinguished Pieces", developed since 1993. One of these was created specifically for the occasion, creating a dialogue with a specific place. If these pieces were previously presented in theatrical or museum spaces, now they approach architecture, history and even astronomy to create an ephemeral space for representation within a place as peculiar as the Academy.Distinguished Anyways is not only a reflection on the career of an unclassifiable artist at her best, but it is the first book to celebrate one hundred and fifty years of the Spanish Academy in Rome.Text in English, Spanish and Italian.
