Karen Beckwith, Open All Night (1997)
|
NM Keepsakes will showcase works focused
on New Mexico themes, or by artists who have a connection to New
Mexico. The opening will take place homecoming weekend, which for
many alumni, will be the last opportunity to visit Tamarind in its
original Albuquerque location, where lithographs have been created
by outstanding New Mexico artists, including Jaune Quick-to-See
Smith, Fritz Scholder, Clinton Adams, Emmi Whitehorse, Robert Kelly,
and Tom Joyce.
From New Mexico landscapes to charming images by New Mexico santero
artists, NM Keepsakes is a celebration of lithography
in New Mexico. The signature image of the Frontier Restaurant, Open
All Night, by Karen Beckwith, is one that anyone who has visited
Albuquerque will appreciate.
Other artists included in this exhibit include
Leroy Neiman, famous sports artist who created Lobo Layup during
his visit in 2008; Frederick Hammersley, who lived and worked in
Albuquerque and received the NM Governor's Awards for Excellence
in the Arts in 2005; Nick Abdalla, professor of art at UNM from
1968 to 1997; and Ramón José López and daughter,
Miller López, santeros from Santa Fe.
