Ruth Asawa and the Tamarind Lithography Workshop

In 1965, Ruth Asawa's friend and teacher, Josef Albers, recommended her for a fellowship at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. Based in Los Angeles at the time, the Workshop, funded by the Ford Foundation, was the most recognized printmaking workshop in the country. Join June Wayne, artist and co-founder of the Workshop, and Ernest de Soto, artist and one of Asawa's printers at Tamarind, as they share their fond memories of Asawa's work with Tamarind lithographers. Tobey Moss (Tobey Moss Gallery, West Hollywood) also joins Wayne in conversation and presents some of Asawa's most remarkable works on paper. Free with Museum admission. Reservations recommended.
