Tamayo: A Modern Icon Reinterpreted
February 17 – May 27, 2007
The first major U.S. presentation in 28 years of the works of acclaimed Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991), this internationally traveling exhibition makes its worldwide debut at SBMA. Tamayo features spectacular paintings from private and institutional collections all over the world, including canvases that have not been on public view for decades. Highlighting more than 100 paintings created during a prolific seven decade career in Mexico City, New York, and Paris, this extraordinary exhibition seeks not only to present a careful selection of some of Tamayo’s finest works, but also to offer a contemporary reinterpretation of this world-renowned artist.
This internationally-touring exhibition was organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in collaboration with the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes, through the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico, and the Fundación Olga y Rufino Tamayo, AC. It is curated by Diana C. du Pont, Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, with Juan Carlos Pereda, Curator at the Museo Tamayo.
