Continuum: Art-as-Art

The émigré artists to northern New Mexico from the late 1960s onwards herald the last third of the century of modernism in which major, postmodern shifts in Western culture and art yield to a global society and a pluralist international art scene. The period is marked by the arrival of Bruce Naumann,  Susan Rothenberg, Lynda Benglis and Judy Chicago in the Santa Fe area, and of Agnes Martin (returning), Larry Bell, Ken Price, Francesco Clemente and Ron Davis to the Taos area.

These postmodern artists affirm the Taos aesthetic and its unique sense of place and peoples that sustains the artistic and cultural continuity of the wide range of works in the Harwood collections.
