Albuquerque Museum

A good one, mixing art with historical and informative exhibits, with a relative focus on Albuquerque while providing an introduction to northern New Mexico as a whole.

Peter Hurd - "A Shower in a Dry Year" (1969)

Felipe Archuleta - "Coyote" (1977)

Fritz Scholder - "Portrait in a White Suit" (1983), Native American iconography; it's figurative but its gestural strokes made me think of abstract expressionism

Bruce Lowney - "Approaching Storm" (1981)

Georgia O'Keeffe - "Gray Cross with Blue" (1929), first O'Keeffe of this New Mexico visit!

Paul Suttman - "Braque Visited by the Conquering Venus Armed with the Apples of Discord" (1991), in foreground
