PhotoTo honor the Venezuelan-American artist María Sol Escobar, known as Marisol, who died last year, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago has named its new restaurant after her. Decorating the Marisol dining room was the job of the English artist Chris Ofili, who also painted the colorful mural and the other artwork on the walls. There’s a steak sandwich with egg called At the Spring Street Diner c. 1972, in homage to Marisol, who donated the museum’s first acquisition. She is said to have liked to eat steak and eggs late at night in SoHo in New York: Marisol, 205 East Pearson Street (North Mies van der Rohe Way), Chicago, 312-799-3599, marisolchicago.com.
