COVER Pat Woodall “The Hunter’s Return, Indian Summer” Oil 36” x 36”
Homage to Oscar Berninghaus and the immortal Society of Artists who first brought to life the magic and serenity of Pueblo life through paintings. “The Hunters Returning, Indian Summer” is my painting depicting the glorious colors of Indian Summer. As the colors turn and the shadows grow longer, the river runs on, the children grow up, and the Pueblo stands the test of time. The mountains provide water, food, and beauty to the lives of all and may the people always be blessed in this way. 575.758.3320 patwoodall.com

To some it may seem inexplicable why Taos – a tiny town nestled in New Mexico’s high mountain desert – became the vortex for an American art movement of such national and international significance over the course of a century. But to Davison Koenig, the Couse-Sharp Historic Site executive director and curator, it’s perfectly understandable. “The arrival of those who would come to be known as the Taos Society of Artists was a perfect storm of circumstances, the timing of which coincided with a burgeoning interest in the American Southwest,” he said. “They didn’t just visit here; they settled here. And so they became a colony with a common and concerted vision, which was to share with the rest of the world an authentic depiction of Native culture and the American Southwest landscape.” Today, the site – owned and operated by the Couse Foundation and including the homes and studios of founding artists E. Irving Couse and J. H. Sharp – is a fascinating step back into time, but is poised to become the future’s singular research center dedicated to Taos as one of the most important art colonies in the country’s history.
‘Our story is... one of27Taos being an With an initial endowment from the Peter Five and Paula Lunder Museums family, the Couse Foundation has launched an $8 million capital campaign to turn the former Mission Gallery, adjacent intellectual center as to the site, into a state-of-the-art museum facility. “The Lunder Research Center will house original documents much as a collective and correspondence, photographs, prints, negatives, sketchbooks and original works of art. It will also include community of artists.’ an extensive library and scholarly papers relating to the Taos Society of Artists, Native American art and other ethnographic items,” Koenig said, noting the overwhelming support for the center from museums, scholars and donors across the country.
Davison Koenig
“Our story is a significant national one,” he explained. “It’s one of Taos being an intellectual center as much as a collective community of artists.” Koenig is but one of several young visionaries under whose guidance the town’s museums are experiencing their own Renaissance moments, ensuring that the heavy mantle of history doesn’t suffocate the relevancy of Taos as an art colony. For Daniel Barela – newly appointed as executive director of the Taos Historic Museums and president of its board – that means preserving his generations-deep heritage in New Mexico and educating newcomers on traditions he wishes to see kept alive. His oversight role includes the E. L. Blumenschein Home and Museum on Ledoux Street, and La Hacienda de los Martinez on the outskirts of town. “We envision using [the] Blumenschein as a venue for ongoing exhibitions of emerging artists, in honor of its heritage as one of the homes of the founding artists of the Taos Society,” Barela said.

But the 1804 Martinez Hacienda is in a class by itself as one of the few remaining “grand houses” of the Southwest. Barela envisions the sprawling property as a unique opportunity to be an educational epicenter with its riverfront grounds, courtyards and dozens of rooms. “In my mind there is more to art than that which hangs on a wall,” he said. “There is art in the simple things in life like making adobes, tin working, plastering, building your own home, or fishing and growing your own food. The hacienda is a perfect location to educate our children beyond the classroom.” Barela is the great-grandson of Patrocino Barela, who became the first Mexican American artist to receive national acclaim after his Spanish colonial woodcarvings were included in a 1936 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Following in his family’s footsteps, Barela is also a woodcarver who sold his wares at Spanish Market in Santa Fe as a young boy and, early on, “made $1,000 and learned the value of being able to take care of yourself.” “The opportunity given to me as the executive director of these historic properties is to pay forward and share all I’ve been blessed to have learned,” he said.
Five Museums 28
Just down the road from the Blumenschein home, Juniper Manley has taken on the stewardship of another formidable Taos institution: the Harwood Museum of Art of the University of New Mexico. It’s the second oldest museum in the state and has, at its center, the Agnes Martin Gallery, which is an internationally acclaimed crown jewel. “Taos will never get tired or be a dusty relic so long as we continue to preserve what precedes us and remain mindful of the future,” she said.

“We in Taos have seen a demographic shift with the move away of generational Hispanics whose void has been filled with immigrants who may not have the leisure time to consider ‘creativity.’ But creativity is a savior. Our job is not to be token art; it’s to be accessible and inclusive. “So many museums are patriarchal by nature; the spoils of war or cultural dominance, and all that,” Manley continued. “But what’s exciting to us is how the artistic roots of Taos are intertwined on so many levels with its tricultural heritage, and how we can use that to establish an authentic voice representing the entire community.” Christy Schoedinger Coleman, the recently appointed executive director of the Taos Art Museum at the Fechin House, expressed a similar regard in her role as steward of the historic property. “We have to be sensitive to ESOL [English for speakers of other languages] so that we are relevant,” she commented. “Otherwise, the museum’s resources aren’t being used optimally. Then, we need to address the value of community building and focusing on our strength in early learning and

in supporting our veterans and seniors. A museum, if properly utilized, can fill voids in what others would see as non traditional roles. “To me, the bottom line is that art is a way to get a message across. It’s the voice of society in a moment of time, and its continuum is the voice of where society is going. She is now in charge of the historic home of Nicholai Fechin, an acclaimed Russian artist who arrived in Taos after the dismantlement of the society but while many member artists nevertheless remained. He remodeled the home and left behind a legacy of art that remains among the most profound of Southwestern artists. The museums’ website states, “It is presently estimated that there are more artists, per capita, in the Taos area than in any other city in the world, including Paris, France.” “There’s no doubt in my mind that Taos has inspired more artists, including the contemporary ones, than any other place,” Schoedinger Coleman affirmed. “What we maintain here at Taos Art Museum is the energy to inform and inspire both today’s and tomorrow’s artists.”
‘There’s Five Museums 29 no doubt in
Schoedinger Coleman is particularly excited about how all of the museum’s executive directors are regularly meeting to brainstorm and support of each other.
“There’s only collaboration here, on how we can work together and keep the energy going,” which, she noted, was still attracting world-class artists to move to Taos. “Our discussions are supportive of each other and how we can continue this momentum.” The most recent appointee is Greta Brunschwyler, now executive director at the Millicent Rogers Museum, and her enthusiasm for her new role is infectious. “Yes,” she laughed, “I’m already included in the monthly get-togethers. And we have so much to talk about with regard to how the art we represent reflects the voices of our society, how our resources can be used in early learning and how we can build the strength of our community.”
my mind that Taos has inspired more artists, including the contemporary ones, than any other place.’ Christy Schoedinger Coleman
The namesake of the museum would be proud. Rogers, a New York heiress who once dated Clark Gable, settled in Taos and spent most of her time engaging with and supporting the Native and Hispanic cultures. Today, the museum has rotating exhibits of her acquisitions which represent the best of Native cultures, and which Brunschwyler wields as an interpretive tool to enforce the value of the museum itself. But her message is clear. “We’re strong together,” she said of her compatriots. To the benefit of Taos, “We can totally rock this.”

Larry Bell is a renowned contemporary American artist, best known for his glass cubes and large-scale sculpture.

STUDIO STORIES / Larry Bell
Untitled, 1959, Cracked glass, gold paint, wood, mirror, 11 x 12 x 4 in. COURTESY PHOTO
Born in Chicago in 1939, Bell mostly grew up in Los Angeles, where he studied at the Chouinard Art Institute (now part of CalArts), with the intention of becoming a Disney animator. It was at Chouinard where Bell was introduced to abstract art. Bell is most associated with Light and Space, a West Coast art movement that focused on the perceptual experience that arose from the viewer’s interaction with the work itself.
Bell 52
He moved to Venice Beach, following friends including Robert Irwin, Ken Price and Craig Kauffman. Many recall Bell being the youngest artist on that scene. His earliest pieces were paintings but soon he began incorporating shards of glass in these pieces which started to resemble cubist works in the angular geometric, three-dimensional compositions. The three-dimensional cases that followed were the natural progression for the artist, and from the shadow box pieces, Bell began to make the body of work he is most known for – cube sculptures on transparent pedestals. Bell’s sculptures set the artist apart from his contemporaries and the Pace Gallery in New York soon offered him a solo show. Bell’s surfaces work both as mirrors and windows, sometimes simultaneously. In his 2018 show at the Harwood Museum of Art – “Hocus, Pocus & Focus” –Bell returned to his roots after years of exploration and experimentation. In his introduction to this show at the Harwood, curator Gus Foster explained that “this was not a retrospective,” although it went way back through the archives of the artist’s work. But rather, Bell “sees his exhibitions as extensions of his studio,” inviting the viewer to participate in the process. A theme in his life work. One walked into a collection of familiar Bell pieces made through the years – all of which are part of the Harwood’s collection. A collection of his midcareer “Fragments” unframed, hung on the back wall with three Mylar mobiles suspended above them. Exhibited in four of the Harwood’s galleries are three installations downstairs and one upstairs. In another, darkly lit space, three large smoky mirrored installations played with light to trick the eye.

A upstairs room was hung with the “Church Studies” (named for

That’s where you’ll see their best work.’ the former church/studio they were made in) and a selection of his extensive and important collection of guitars that rival any rock star’s. In the center of the space, two of his Art Deco chairs (the artist occasionally designs furniture) sat next to each other facing in opposite directions playing with duality, shadow and light - the cubist in the process of seeing. Bell is one of the faces on the cover (taken by his friend and longtime Taos resident, Dennis Hopper) of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” the iconic 1967 Beatles’ album. His face is pasted into the third row.
as a boy who had a hearing problem, when he discovered he could hear, and play 12-string guitars. Across a short alleyway sits Bell’s own studio – his laboratory, complete with a huge tank which is his secret weapon in assisting him get the surfaces that are his signature. When Bell first saw the former commercial laundry facility, it was in ruins. “The roof was caving in. It was a total mess,” he said, “but there were four walls and it was cheap.” When we entered the workspace, we were greeted by geometric pieces of colored glass, some were built into cubes - prototypes for much larger sculptures - like the ones at the Harwood, but in living color.
Bell 53
He has received important grants from, among others, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation and his work is included in many important international and national collections and cultural institutions.
Bell has lived and worked in Taos for most of his career, while maintaining a studio in Venice. He was the recipient of the 1990 New Mexico Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts When we visited him at his Taos Annex recently, Bell was still recovering from a sudden bout of illness but seemed to be on the mend. We had gone there to ask Bell which artists working in Taos were on his short list. He responded generously. “Oh, the first thing you’ve got to do,” he said, “is see them in their studios. That’s where you’ll see their best work.” We questioned that in light of the fact we were interviewing him for the Gallery Guide. “Just ask the galleries to arrange the visits and it will be fine,” he assured us, as he led us through the “guitar room.” The vast space hung salon-style presently with all of his guitars. A collection began

He had just returned from a show in New York City at Hauser & Wirth, where he had taken over the ground floor of its Chelsea location for “Still Standing,” an exhibit of three standing walls, scale models for other freestanding pieces, and three new cubes in a show filled with glorious color. The crazy Mylar mobiles were catching the last rays of afternoon light as we asked Bell whom we should visit next. “Oh there are some great artists to see here in Taos,” he exclaimed. “Tom Dixon, Marcia Oliver, they both make interesting work.” He cited two of Taos’ most important, post Taos Modern moderns – each continuing in the footsteps of and building on the legacy of Agnes Martin, with their abstractions and other worldly sight. We asked about two of the artists we have already visited and he says he has bought work from each of them. Smiling, he asked, “Did you see their studios?” larrybell.com

Izumi Yokoyama and Theresa Gray belong to the continuum of artists who have followed the call to come to the high desert since Bert Phillips and Ernest Blumenschein’s wagon wheel broke, stranding the two young East Coast artists in Taos. That was a century ago, and the stream of artists that arrive in Taos and stay remains steady.

A multimedia artist who now lives and works in Taos, Yokoyama was born in Niigata, Japan, in 1980. Her 2019 show at the Harwood Museum of Art, “In Birds of Appetite: Alchemy & Apparition,” brought her greater recognition but she has been showing in Taos for some time.
She continued, “Taking years off as an active artist after San Francisco sure took away my confidence and need for such expressions, but I was secretly desperate to find a thread for a new path for my art and life.”
Her intricate line drawings and haunting installations “explore and embrace human struggles within the context of nature.” The dreamlike imagery in her works is both darkly prescient and transcendent; the artist explores a fantastical, almost hallucinogenic world of visionary grace. The work is characterized by her persistent use of negative space. Her solo show, “Dreamer on the Mesa,” at Magpie in 2017 remains a seminal moment for Yokoyama who said “that show was indeed the new beginning for
taosnews.com/taosgalleryguide
Still mothering toddlers, Yokoyama was hesitant at first, but “I finally got up enough courage to ask Georgia to give me a chance to show my works.”
Yokoyama says that both she and her work have grown here in Taos, along with her children, who live with her in the house that currently houses her studio, in Arroyo Seco. A tiny space, perched at the top of a narrow, spiral staircase, it is a fitting spot for this dreamer of dreams, this bringer of visions. Like her newest series, the phoenix in its nest, high on an unreachable precipice, Yokoyama’s aerie affords her the solitude and space to take flight into the vast unknown. We are in turn rewarded by these flights of fancy and fear. Transcendent in their final execution.

‘It’s all about capturing a moment.’
Theresa 63
Theresa Gray first came to Taos a decade ago and like so many others who accidentally wind up here, she was captivated by the place and its inhabitants. In fact it was during that first trip that she met her husband, musician and film protectionist, Peter Halter. After a whirlwind courtship, she moved here to be with him and the couple live off the grid, dependent on the elements that power their handmade home. Just a few steps down from the home they share in the thriving community across the Río Grande Gorge in what was once a virtual no-man’s land sits a one-room, passive solar A-frame structure that once housed another intrepid resident prepared to dig ditches and carry water. “We collect all of our own water in cisterns,” Gray told us as we sat in the space that is now her studio. When the previous occupant passed away, she bought it and renovated it herself. It was cold
taosnews.com/taosgalleryguide
the day we were there but the space required no heat. The sun was enough to keep the spartan, white-washed room cosy. The tiny house draws the outside in, and the outside is what Gray sees and in turn draws. She draws and paints mostly on Arches oil paper or linen, depending on her mood and subject matter. “If it’s a line I’m after, then paper is what I choose because frankly it’s difficult to get a definitive line on linen,” she said but then pointed out the newest piece stretched across one wall of the space. “It’s Mylar,” she noted. “It doesn’t have the same memory as paper, so I have to work quickly.” Dune grass bent by wind off a lake, whispered across the miles – the painting is from memory: the Great Lakes where she grew up, and had recently visited. She indicated a golden glow on the top right of the piece. “I waited for that moment,” she said.

‘If l wait until the moment is right and then all of a sudden, it’s done.’
Gray says she works from memory mostly, painting feelings and emotions rather than rendering what is seen. “It’s all about capturing a moment,” she explained. “If l wait until the moment is right and then all of a sudden, it’s done.” She says she’s more of a participant than an observer, and the space and its proximity to the elements allow for that. We trudged back up the hill through the snowmelt and mud, to the main house and as we got ready to depart, I was struck by the wind playing with Gray’s long silver hair. It reminded me of the grasses in her whimsical works, caught in perpetual motion by an invisible breeze. Both Gray and Yokoyama frequently show their work at Magpie and Studio 107B in Taos, both in group shows and individually.

A
Room of One’s Own
by Laura Bulkin
Two Women 70
There are dozens of art galleries in Taos, but women-owned galleries are still rare. Máye Torres and Georgia Gersh are two women who grew up in Taos art circles, one the daughter of a gallery owner and the other the daughter of a famous artist. Both are artists themselves, and both now have galleries that have become essential resources for the Taos arts community. Máye Torres grew up in Taos, descended from generations of Taoseñas. Her own gallery, Studio 107-B (107-B North Taos Plaza), was once home to her mother Cecilia Torres’ New Directions Gallery. “That generation, my mom and Tally Richards, they were glamor queens and really beautiful, always so elegant,” she said. “Taos, wonderfully, has been a place that has been a magnet for female artists, specifically. and the biggest reason has been that it’s a place to get into what you’re doing.” “It is interesting,” Torres continued. “For a long time I didn’t identify artists rather than as an activist artist, a feminist artist. As I’ve been in the art field for 40 years, as a woman artist who is a woman of color, I never really looked at it until lately, until that movie ‘Who Does She Think She Is’ came out — it was a documentary, and really pointed out how few women there are in museums. In Taos, we always saw women as part of the arts community. But there were women painters who weren’t as recognized as the guys.”

Photography Morgan Timms
The 2006 film, directed by Pamela Tanner Boll, profiled Torres along with four other women balancing art careers with raising a family. “I think this will be seen as the age of women artists. Taos is a place for women artists. In the Spanish and Native communities, you had to be creative to survive here. Women wove their own fabric, Juanita Lavadie is doing that still. Not just rugs but they actually wove their own cloth. It was like a luxury. So there was that creativeness happening here even before the ‘broken wagon wheel,’ the attention to cooking one’s own food and the art of cooking it. The Native people were always embellishing. They took common utilitarian objects and made them into art objects. “I’m not rejecting object-art — stuff you can pick up and take home — but these are changing ideas, themes. Spectacular themes. Renacimiento, renaissance 2020. How do we give to cultures that are gentrified and don’t know who they are? How are we reborn, like in a renaissance? How do we define our relationship to our planet, politics, each other? I think art helps us define who we are. “Beauty is all around you. My grandma said, ‘I don’t understand these painters that come here and paint landscapes, you could just look out your window and it changes every day.’ Women, pioneer women, were drawn here. That goes back to Taos being a place that, I think, accepts women as business

‘I feel very privileged to live in a place and time where it hadn’t crossed my mind that I am a female gallery owner.’
Two Women 71 owners today. There have always been women in education and business. I just think it takes more. Anything you have a vision for, or that has a vision for you, can happen. I really feel the universe wants this to happen.” Georgia Gersh owns Magpie (1405 Paseo del Pueblo Norte), featuring the work of 80 Taos area artists. She grew up on a commune north of Taos, and spent her childhood developing her critical eye by accompanying her dad — artist Bill Gersh — to openings. “I feel very privileged to live in a place and time where it hadn’t crossed my mind that I am a female gallery owner,” she said. “I am a creative person putting my energy into a space for other creatives. I realize that people in other places, and certainly women who came before me, did not have this privilege, and I am ever grateful. I am not a feminist. I don’t delineate. I recognize that women struggle and have struggles. The majority of the art in here is from women, not because they’re women but because I like their work. When you’re talking about people like Tally Richards and Cecilia Torres — there were a handful of female gallery owners. That might have been a more pertinent time to recognize that someone was female, because they were breaking territory. In my case, I don’t feel that it’s unusual. “Tally Richards was freaking amazing, Máye’s mom too, and probably in that era they had to be more fierce. To them, art was very serious, they were
taosnews.com/taosgalleryguide
representing the most cutting-edge artists. My dad was showing at Tally’s with Fritz Scholder. It was really charged stuff. I remember the years from 1984-89 were incredible. It was a very sophisticated scene here. I think that’s happening again now. Greg Moon, David Anthony, a handful of galleries are really on it. I think that part of being a gallerist, that aspect of having an art venue is really important — that people come together and gather in community. Meet the artist, most of them come to openings, they meet each other. “I know I’m not the only person who feels like that. I do feel like that in itself is hopefully an indication that we’re in a more equal place. I think there’s a lot of generalizations about being female and I embody a lot of them. I love keeping things swept and mopped and dusted and placed just so. I don’t know if that’s a female thing or not, but we’re very fortunate to be in a place and time where we have free will. I just happen to be female this time. Both of my parents influenced me. I feel like my success as a female gallerist is due in part to the fact that that’s how I was raised. It feels very natural to me. It’s a lot of work, but it never feels like work. It feels like moving forward. This place has evolved so much and it does all the time. Even though I’m doing the work, the shows hang themselves.” Máye Torres Studio 107-B 107-B North Taos Plaza (575)779-7832
