    The American painter and printmaker Richard Diebenkorn is regarded as one of the leading artists of the 20th century due to his significant contributions to Abstract Expressionism, Bay Area Figuration, and his highly acclaimed Ocean Park series. Diebenkorn in New Mexico: 1950-1952 is the first exhibition devoted entirely to the artist's New Mexico work. In 1950, Diebenkorn enrolled in the Masters of Fine Arts program at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, leaving behind a teaching position at the California School of Fine Arts (now known as the San Francisco Arts Institute). Over a two-year period, Diebenkorn created a body of work that represented the region's desert terrain through aerial views, linear planes, and a palette of rusty earth tones. His unique rendition of landscapes continued in his later works, including the Berkeley and Ocean Park series. Highlighting a little-known period of Diebenkorn's work that had a lasting impact on his career, the exhibition brings together 50 paintings, works on paper, and sculpture that have never been seen together before. Diebenkorn in New Mexico: 1950-1952 is organized by the Harwood Museum of Art, Taos, University of New Mexico with major support from the Thaw Charitable Trust and the Richard Diebenkorn Estate.
