Since the beginning, we have been facing south, feeling the pull and influence of Mexican prints. Almost half the prints from the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta were made in Mexico -- at Taller 75 Grados, Taller Grafica Libre, and La Ceiba Grafica.

All along we have been collecting from young Mexican printmakers -- there is an explosion of activity from Mexican printmakers under 40 years old.

So it gives us great pleasure to show contemporary prints from mostly young Mexican masters. Though we did show a few Mexican prints with Southwestern works last April in Albuquerque, this exhibition is dedicated entirely to

Moreover, we have shown our prints in Puebla, Oaxaca, and Mexico City, to an enthusiastic response.

It would be great to see more contemporary Mexican prints in the United States in the future, and perhaps we will enjoy the privilege of showing some of our prints down there as well.
