Edge of Color  

Color swept through the mid-century art world in a way it never had before. Geometric, hard edge, flat, reductionist — color became a pure form in itself: mysterious but functional, omnipresent and essential. Many artists who came to Tamarind in the 1960s and '70s were devoted to a conceptual framework that removed metaphor, narrative, and the figure from art, and replaced it with the fundamentals of color and line. Edge of Color is a group exhibition that provides a spectrum of Tamarind lithographs from the 1960s to the present, including work by Garo Antreasian, Valerie Arber, Frederick Hammersley, Robert Kelly, Nicholas Krushenick, John McLaughlin, Ruth Root, Leon Polk Smith, and William Turnbull.

Leon Polk Smith, Untitled (1968). Two-color lithograph, 30 by 22 inches. From The Tamarind Archive Collection, University of New Mexico Art Museum, Albuquerque.
