Top Contemporary Artists of New Mexico and Arizona
100 Artists of the Southwest is an overlooked but excellent introduction to 100 of the top contemporary visual artists in the southwest in all media, selected by the editor. Artists describe their work in two-page spread with statements, color images, and photos. Most of the artists are in Santa Fe, but others are from various parts of New Mexico and Arizona. I don't agree with all of the choices, but I was happy to see Erika Blumenfeld, Cathy Aten, the New Mexico Capitol Art Collection, Alexandra Eldridge, Florence Pierce, Tom Joyce, Meridel Rubenstein, Emmi Whitehorse, and myself (Sherri Silverman) represented in this book.
