Delivery to El Paso

We delivered most of the framed prints to the El Paso Museum of Art, for a show next year -- from January 31 to May 22.

The prints were framed at New Grounds Print Workshop in Albuquerque.

The 25th Bienal International de Cartel began just before we started showing our Desert Triangle Print Carpeta, showcasing selected posters from throughout the world in the Palacio de Minería:

Meanwhile the Palacio de Bellas Artes had a Russian art exhibition --“Russian avant-gardes: the vertigo of the future” -- showing off some posters with an entirely different aesthetic:

La Ceiba Grafica, a major lithography studio near Xalapa, Vera Cruz, was having a show at el Museo Nacional de Estampa (the National Printmaking Museum) in Mexico City.  Manuel Guerra made his print edition there.
