Ruth Asawa: The Tamarind Prints

Edited by Cara Manes, Dominika Tylcz. Over the course of just two months in 1965, at a residency at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, artist Ruth Asawa produced a stunning portfolio of 54 lithographs, depicting organic forms and plants as well as family and friends. The Tamarind Workshop had been founded by artist June Wayne in Los Angeles in 1960 in an effort to revitalize lithography as a fine art, and offered artists the opportunity to work in collaboration with master printers.
