Dear Friends,

T

he beauty of having a gallery for over thirty years is that old friends come back to visit us time and again. Indeed, great works of art are like good friends: you want to see them when you can, you miss them when they’re gone, and reunions are joyful celebrations. This catalogue represents our nod to a “reunion” of old friends. Hence, the title Encore. Here at Zaplin Lampert Gallery, we consider ourselves privileged to be (re)representing works that we handled during the past three decades. (In some cases, it might be even earlier since there was a Zaplin and there was a Lampert well before the gallery was established.) “Encores” make up the majority of works displayed in this catalogue; yet, there are others, too, which were selected because of their exceptional quality. So, we couldn’t resist the temptation to share a handful of our “new acquaintances” with you, as well. Today I can look back on our early days with a smile. When we opened Zaplin Lampert Gallery in 1987, future clients would wander in, look around and ask, “So how long have you been open?” They’d return a year or so later and say, “Wow!

You’re still here! What are your names again?” It took—on average—about three to five visits for people to finally accept that Zaplin Lampert Gallery had something to offer. Now, after thirty years, we’re proud of our legacy and gratified to be able to continue our service. To be given the opportunity to (re)sell artwork enjoyed by our many clients over the years is the greatest compliment I can receive as a gallery owner. It would be out of character for me not to thank those loyal clients and friends for giving us the opportunity to place these well-loved works on the walls of other appreciative art lovers and to encourage new, enthusiastic collectors. I am grateful that you continue to put your faith in Zaplin Lampert Gallery. Sincerely,

Richard Lampert, 2018

“When we look up and measure the mighty perpendicular cliffs that rise hundreds of feet aloft, all capped with snow, we then realize that we are among a different class of mountains. . . . and especially when we see the antelope stop to look at us, and still more the Indian, his pursuer, who often stands dismayed to see a white man sketching alone in the midst of his hunting grounds.” – Bierstadt letter to The Crayon, September 1859, reporting on his first trip to the Rocky Mountains

“He spent hours, as well as days and weeks, in the hills he loved and among the Indians, studying them, the light and color effects and relations, making color sketches and notes for later elaboration in the studio. During these studies he came to know the Indian as a human being, trying to understand their point of view and life. That he succeeded in the latter to an unusual degree was shown, I think, in his sympathetic rendering of their ceremonials and in their portraits, and also at the time of his death when Indian friends came from pueblos far away and near to add a bit of their ritual to his burial and to mourn with us.” – Ina Sizer Cassidy, Gerald Cassidy’s widow, as quoted in Light, Landscape and the Creative Quest: Early Artists of Santa Fe

“Every Sunday morning in Taos that winter, we sat at the kitchen table of a painter of a world virtually unknown in art . . .

dry air of the Southwest — it is clear that a color technique should be used that emphasizes the most characteristic feature of the landscape. One must then use pure colors which refract each other, but which through distance assimilate for the eye — the so-called “optical” blending — since the usual blending on the palette, the ‘pigmented blending,’ is not intensive enough and does not ‘vibrate.’”


Joseph Henry

“He was the reporter, the recorder of absolute integrity of the American Indian . . . He will go down in history with Russel (sic) and Remington and the few early artists of Indian life.” – E.L. Blumenschein, at the memorial service for Joseph Henry Sharp
