The Taos Moderns were a group of Taos artists who came to prominence between the mid 1940’s and the early 1960’s. Enticed by the open, light-filled landscapes of Northern New Mexico, these artists left major cities such as San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles to pursue their art in simpler environs. In Taos they formed a tight-knit group of eclectic styles and personalities who came to be collectively associated with the thriving, albeit remote Taos art colony.
Taos Moderns in Santa Fe is organized in charitable support of the Historic Santa Fe Foundation, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Foundation. The exhibition will take place in the Foundation’s historic venue, El Zaguán.
