When Tamarind opened its doors in the summer of 1960 on Tamarind Ave in Los Angeles, fine art lithography in the United States was thought to be on its last legs. In the Hollywood workshop during its first decade, Tamarind collaborated with artists like Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Louise Nevelson, and Ed Ruscha, while also developing extensive documentation and an educational program that would guarantee the future of lithography in the United States and abroad. Today, Tamarind Institute is widely credited with revitalizing fine art lithography. Their state-of-the-art facility – home to a professional workshop, gallery, and educational institute – is now located in Albuquerque in affiliation with the College of Fine Arts at The University of New Mexico.
