ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Historic Santa Fe Foundation is pleased to announce an exhibition produced by Tamarind Institute at the historic El Zaguán gallery in Santa Fe (December 6-January 18). Tamarind at El Zaguán features a selection of fine prints created in Tamarind’s workshop by artists based in New Mexico or inspired by New Mexico, each representing an individualized response to drawing and the medium of lithography.
Tamarind is known for its collaborative approach to printmaking, working closely with the artist to help navigate the technical demands, tools, and broad aesthetic possibilities of creating hand-printed lithographs. Many of the artists who work with them come with little or no experience with lithography, yet they often return to the workshop again and again after their initial exploration of the process and the language of ink on paper.
Many of the works featured here center on the exquisite simplicity of a one-or-two-color lithograph; with a few notable exceptions that explore rich color in multi-run prints. Each print bears the Tamarind chop, the artist’s signature, and the printer’s chop, demonstrating the partnership that brought the prints into existence.
The artists featured are based in New Mexico — Stuart Arends, Judy Chicago, Nicola Lopez, Zahra Marwan, Maja Ruznic, Rose B. Simpson, Judy Tuwaletstiwa, Emmi Whitehorse, and Paula Wilson—while others such as Andrew Dasburg and Michelle Stuart were deeply influenced by the landscape of New Mexico.

ABOUT TAMARIND INSTITUTE
Founded in 1960 in Los Angeles as Tamarind Lithography Workshop, the experimental program to restore the dying art of lithography became an influential training ground initiated by artist June Wayne with the support of the Ford Foundation. Today, Tamarind Institute operates as a nonprofit educational center and a division of the College of Fine Arts at The University of New Mexico. Tamarind occupies a freestanding building on Albuquerque's original Route 66; its state-of-the-art print workshop, gallery, and research library are home to artist residencies, public programs and advanced classes in the theory and chemistry of lithography. Tamarind encompasses an extensive archive of historic material, a print inventory of 8000 lithographs produced by the workshop, and a staff of highly trained printers, curators, and print experts. The institute stimulates research, preservation of knowledge, and community among a diverse international following. This unique program is widely credited with revitalizing the creative medium of lithography and continues toprovide the only printer training program of its kind in the world.
