Dr Josie Lopez Talk on
TALLER DE GRAFICA POPULAR
THE Magazine of Santa Fe also hung Frank Rose's Mexican print collection in their gallery space. These prints were largely by the Taller de Grafica Popular, of the 20th century. The exhibition was called "Victoria! Selected Political Prints From Mexico (1910 - 1960)."
On Friday, February 15, 2019, there was a talk about these TGP (Taller de Grafica Popular) prints in the gallery of the offices of THE Magazine. Josie Lopez, the new curator at the Albuquerque Museum, gave the talk, from 6 -7 PM.
Dr Josie Lopez talking about the TGP prints hanging at THE Magazine
Dr Joise Lopez had an interesting comment. She mentioned that there was a falling out amongst the artists of the Taller de Grafica Popular about selling their prints. Some printmakers did not want to charge for their prints, and left the organization. The current situation here is completely different, as it is often hard to get motivated to make prints unless there is some financial compensation, if only to break even.

Flashback -- El Paso
It's good to see the Oaxaca artists getting some attention north of the border, since the up and coming young artists are really good.
