MIXOGRAFÍA®: INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION
|
|
| In 1968 Luis and Lea Remba opened their print workshop to artists and began printing lithographs. Celebrated Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo’s desire for more volume and texture in his prints inspired Luis Remba to invent the Mixografía® technique in 1973 which prints the artist’s image in a 3-dimensional relief with fine surface detail. Mixografía® produces prints on handmade paper, cast-copper multiples and sculpture that expand the language of traditional editions by giving the artist greater choice.
This exhibition presents a 30-year survey of a variety of innovative projects from the workshop focusing on the Mixografía® prints coupled with sculpture multiples by 24 American, European, Latin-American and Asian artists including: Arman, John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Jonathan Borofsky, Louise Bourgeois, Stanley Boxer, Helen Frankenthaler, Gunther Gerzso, Mathias Goeritz, Donald Lipski, Richard Meier, Henry Moore, Mimmo Paladino, Jorge Pardo, Seo-bo Park, Ed Ruscha, Julião Sarmento, Georges Segal, Kiki Smith, Donald Sultan, Rufino Tamayo, Tom Wesselmann, Terry Winters and Peter Wüthrich.
The exhibition was organized by the Portland Art Museum, Portland, OR., where it was presented in 2009. The exhibition.was curated by Annette Dixon, Curator, Portland Art Museum.

RUFINO TAMAYO: A Comprehensive Survey of His Mixografía® Prints
|
|
|
In the early 1970s, Luis and Lea Remba invited Rufino Tamayo to collaborate in printmaking at their workshop in Mexico City. Tamayo was interested, but made it clear that he was looking for new horizons within the medium – particularly seeking ways to get more volume and texture into his prints. This artistic challenge was the impetus for Remba to invent the Mixografía® printing technique.
Rufino Tamayo was the first artist to work in the Mixografía® print process producing 67 editions along with some lithographs over a 17-year period until his death. These workshop editions represent one-fifth of his total out-put in printmaking during his lifetime.
Tamayo was born in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1899. Orphaned at 12, he relocated to Mexico City with his aunt selling fruit in the open-air markets. Tamayo’s artistic skills were honed early in life when he worked as a cataloger at the State Natural History Museum drawing pictures of Pre-Columbian artifacts found in the collections, and later, following the ideas of the Cubists in their use of color and plainer forms. Tamayo attended the Academy of Fine Arts as a young adult from 1917 – 1921 and began exhibiting in 1926 with solo shows in New York and Mexico City. His work has been exhibited continually ever since. His career and his style constantly evolved, juxtaposing the primitive and mystical, the ideological and emotional.
The exhibition contains 41 prints created between 1974 and 1990, and includes the mural-size Dos Personajes Atacados por Perros, 1983, (“Two People Attacked by Dogs”) measuring 61 x 98 inches, and pulled from the largest litho stone in the world.
All artworks are courtesy of individual artists, their estates, and the Mixografía® Workshop. |
