Albuquerque, NM – Tamarind invites UNM alumni and the community to a special exhibit, "NM Keepsakes". This exhibit showcases works with a focus on New Mexico themes, and artists who have a connection to New Mexico. "NM Keepsakes" will be on view from October 22 through November 13 at the Tamarind Institute Gallery, 110 Cornell Drive SE (south of the Frontier). Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9-5pm. This exhibit is free and open to the public.
For many alumni returning to UNM for homecoming this year, this will be the last opportunity to visit Tamarind in its original Albuquerque location, where lithographs have been created by many outstanding New Mexico artists, including Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Fritz Scholder, Clinton Adams, Emmi Whitehorse, Robert Kelly, and Tom Joyce. In the spring of 2010, Tamarind will move into its new home at 2500 Central, which is currently under construction.
From New Mexico landscapes to charming images by New Mexico santero artists, "NM Keepsakes" is bound to have something for everyone with a love for New Mexico. The signature image of the Frontier Restaurant, Open All Night, an original, hand printed lithograph by Karen Beckwith, is one that all UNM alums and students 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 for many years 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. A complete list of works included in this exhibit is available. All work is available for sale.
