University of New Mexico Art Museum

University of New Mexico Art Museum, Art museum at University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, United States.

The University of New Mexico Art Museum, founded in 1963, holds nearly 30,000 objects, the largest fine art collection in New Mexico. Its holdings include over 10,000 photographs and more than 17,000 prints, with the earliest print from the Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493. The museum also houses the Tamarind Archives and the Raymond Jonson Collection, among others.

The museum opened in 1963 with Van Deren Coke as founding director; Robert O. Parks was another early director. Its first years brought exhibitions of Georgia O'Keeffe, Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt, Cady Wells, Andrew Dasburg and John Marin. O'Keeffe had named the museum in her 1979 will, but a 1984 codicil removed it; a 1986 agreement with Juan Hamilton gave the state several O'Keeffe paintings.

The museum's name comes from its home at the University of New Mexico, and its founding director was Van Deren Coke. Its collections are named after donors and artists, among them the photographer Beaumont Newhall, who taught art history at UNM from 1971, and Clinton Adams, a UNM dean who gave impressions of his non-Tamarind prints in 1996. The Taller de Gráfica Popular collection holds about 300 prints and posters by the Mexico City cooperative.

The museum occupies the Center for the Arts on the UNM campus in Albuquerque, where the Beaumont Newhall Study Room holds many of the photographs, prints and early cased objects. Visitors can reach the campus by city bus or the ABQ Ride rapid transit lines; campus parking is metered or permit-based. Check the museum's own page for current opening days before travelling.

The museum archives two impressions of every Tamarind Institute edition, covering both its Los Angeles period from 1960 and its Albuquerque period after the institute joined UNM in 1970. The Tamarind Archives themselves are held at the Center for Southwest Research in Zimmerman Library.
