    Oral history interview with June Wayne, 1970 August 4-6 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with June Wayne on August 4, 1970. The interview took place in Los Angeles, CA, and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Tape 1, Side 1 PAUL CUMMINGS: It's August 4 - Paul Cummings talking to June Wayne in her studio. Well, how about some background. You were born in Chicago? JUNE WAYNE: Yes, I was. I understand I was born at the Lying-In Hospital on the Midway in Chicago. Right in the shadow of the University of Chicago. PAUL CUMMINGS: And then you went to Gary, Indiana? JUNE WAYNE: I went to Gary when I was an infant. I don't know whether I was a year old or two years old. I do know that I was back in Chicago by the time I was four or five. So my stay in Gary was very brief. Incidentally, I have memories of Gary, of the steel mills at night, those giant candles with the flutes of fire coming out of the stacks. I also remember very vividly picking black-eyed Susans along the railroad tracks of the Illinois Central in Gary. I must have lived somewhere nearby. My grandmother used to take me for walks along there. I can remember that very significantly. I have lots of memories of Gary.

Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1869 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history—from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Tamarind:Homage to Lithography Tamarind: Homage to Lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and in the United States. Included is a list which catalogs part of the promised gift to The Museum of Modern Art of the Kleiner, Bell and Company Collection of Tamarind Impressions. The author, Virginia Allen, former curator of Tamarind, is now Assistant to William S.

  • The LA Art Scene in the Political 1970S
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 48:1 (2016), pp. 61-83. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Claims by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os for alternative space: The LA art scene in the political 1970s Eva Zetterman University of Gothenburg Abstract: Originating in the context of the Civil Rights Movements and political ac- tivities addressing issues of race, gender and sexuality, the Women’s Liberation move- ment and the Chicano Movement became departures for two significant counter art movements in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This article explores some of the various reasons why Anglo American feminist artists and Chicana artists were not able to fully collaborate in the 1970s, provides some possible explanations for their separa- tion, and argues that the Eurocentric imperative in visual fine art was challenged already in the 1970s by Chicana/o artists in Los Angeles. In so doing, the art activism by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os is comparatively investigated with Los Angeles as the spatial framework and the 1970s as the time frame. Four main com- ponents are discussed: their respective political aims, alternative art spaces, peda- gogical frameworks and aesthetic strategies. The study found that the art activisms by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os differed. These findings suggest that a task ahead is to open up a dialogue with Chicana/o activist art, making space for more diverse representations of activities and political issues, both on the mainstream art scene and in the history of art. Keywords: the Los Angeles art scene – art activism – alternative art spaces – Chica- nas/os – feminism In the historiography of fine art, the 1970s is recognized as the decade when feminism entered the scene.

Women Artists in the Collection This special exhibition of the permanent collection focuses exclusively on the contributions of American women artists. The fact of women's historical exclusion from the art world is part of the exploration, "Why have there been no great women artists?"-art historian Linda Nochlin famously asked in a 1971 essay. Her findings pointed to the past exclusion of women from working with male nude models, hence apprenticeships, then professions and academies, to which we add commercial gallery exhibitions, art criticism, and art history. Over the centuries this vicious cycle has shaped the current phenomenon: the predominance of male artists in museum collections .
