ALBUQUERQUE, APRIL 8, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. The "Garo
Antreasian: Works on Paper – 50 Years" exhibition at the Gerald
Peters Gallery of New Mexico is a stunning display of graphic design,
impeccable draftsmanship and userfriendly abstraction.
As the Albuquerque Journal writes, Antreasian was long associated with
the Tamarind Institute of Lithography and the University of New Mexico
art department. Though retired from teaching for many years, Antreasian
is remembered by countless students, who benefited from his demand
for professionalism and sweat equity skills development. Antreasian
and the late Clinton Adams co-founded the New Mexico version of the
Tamarind Institute of Lithography and turned it into an international
learning center.
