The whole world has been on pause during the Covid 19 epidemic. We have been on lockdown for a whole year now in New Mexico here in the United States. No one has been able to exhibit Ambos Lados during this time, but now things are starting to thaw out in March, 2021. Below is what happened during lockdown, and some things to look forward to.
JUAN SANDOVAL
(1946 - 2021)
Juan Sandoval was a major print collector from El Paso who also spent a lot of time in Oaxaca, and collected prints by those artists. We followed Juan Sandoval's lead when producing both the Ambos Lados and the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta projects. We were proud to dedicate the Ambos Lados catalog to Juan Sandoval. He passed away on January 3, 2021.
Juan Sandoval was one of the major US collectors of Latin prints, and donated his print collection to the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, Texas. Currently Mexic-Arte is exhibiting the Juan Sandoval collection -- Mexico, the Border, and Beyond: Selections from the Juan Sandoval Jr Collection -- from December 19, 2020 - August 22, 2021.
