Our reading written by Costa Rica Artists
Leda Astorga is presented as a sculptor whose subject is social: the profile speaks of a society of appearances and superficiality, and of the comic, caricatured side that follows from it.
One exhibition listed covers her sculptures made from 1978 to 1998, and the national sculpture prize is dated 1999. Her collections list names six holders, among them a metropolitan park and a university plaza.
