The Tobey C. Moss Gallery opened in 1978 with a modest showing of prints by John Sloan and Armin Hansen - from one coast of the United States to the other. As a member of the IFPDA/International Fine Print Dealers Association, our print inventory is extensive but we also offer drawings, watercolors, collages, paintings and sculptures. We favor American artists, particularly those active in California since the 1930s....through today. Abstraction is a special direction in the Gallery, in parallel with social criticism, kineticism and works by Mexican/Latin and African American artists. In addition, we offer occasion fine works by European, Asian and Early Master artists.

 

Many estates and media have been represented in the Gallery with current focus upon those of Jules Engel, Leonard Edmondson, Werner Drewes, Stanton Macdonald Wright, Clinton Adams, Nicholas P. (Nick) Brigante, Peter Krasnow and Gordon Wagner.

 

We also present works by Ruth Asawa, Mario Avati, Dorr Bothwell, Elizabeth Catlett, Lee Chesney, Lorser Feitelson, Oskar Fischinger, Ynez Johnston, John Paul Jones, Matusumi (Mike) Kanemitsu, Basil Langton, Helen Lundeberg,, George Herms, Seymour Haden, Leopoldo Mendez, Lee Mullican, Pablo O’Higgins, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Posada, Jay Rivkin, Betye Saar, Palmer Schoppe, Peter Shire, Joyce Treiman, June Wayne, Emerson Woelffer, and many others.

TAMARIND LITHOGRAPHY WORKSHOP in LA: The early years 1960-1971

Tamarind was founded in LA by Jane Wayne, with the support of the Ford Foundation, to foster appreciation of the medium of lithography and to train printers in this exacting technique. In 1971 the Workshop was transfered to Albuquerque, New Mexico under the wing of the University of New Mexico, where it flourishes today.
