“A PAINTER’S HAND: THE MONOTYPES OF ADOLPH GOTTLIEB” Opens Thursday (2/3/17) at @unm_art_museum. This exhibition offers a look at a largely unexamined aspect of the career of one of the most highly influential thinkers and artists of the 20th century. This exhibition features Adolph Gottlieb’s little-known monotypes that he worked on between the summer of 1973 and February 1974. An intimate suite of works created within the last 9 months of the artist’s life, these monotypes are a summation of Gottlieb’s 50-year career as a painter.

“I think that the situation for the artists who have not — let us say, to put it crudely — made success in the typical American sense, for them the situation is very rough… and because there still isn't enough money to go around, so that art can exist as a real commodity. The older artists, the majority of the older artists, find it very difficult, and they have to continue either teaching or doing other things to help support themselves.”

-- Adolph Gottlieb, in an interview with Irving Sandler, 1962

The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program is intended to provide interim financial assistance to qualified artists who have been working in a mature phase of their art for at least 10 years, whose needs are the result of an unforeseen, catastrophic incident, and who lack the resources to meet that situation. Each grant is given as one-time assistance for a specific emergency, examples of which are fire, flood, or emergency medical need. This program has no deadlines.
