Tamarind Institute is a lithography workshop created in 1970 as a division of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM. It began as Tamarind Lithography Workshop, a California non-profit corporation founded by June Wayne on Tamarind Avenue in Los Angeles in 1960. Both the current Institute and the original Lithography Workshop are referred to informally as "Tamarind." ==Origin and goals== Tamarind was founded in the absence of an American print shop dedicated to serving artists, and during a period when American artists tended to reject lithography and collaborative printing in favor of the more "direct...immediate" possibilities of Abstract Expressionist painting. Faced with a paucity of opportunities on all fronts and a medium which seemed on the verge of extinction, Wayne sought to create more than just a studio: Tamarind Institute's website lists the following goals, developed by founding director June Wayne with Associate director Clinton Adams and Technical Director Garo Antreasian in 1960:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tamarind Institute: Lithography Workshop and Gallery )〕 * To create a pool of master artisan-printers in the United States by training apprentices; * To develop a group of American artists of diverse styles into masters of this medium; * To habituate each artist and artisan to intimate collaboration so that each becomes responsive and stimulating to the other in the work situation encouraging both to experiment widely and extend the expressive potential of the medium; * To stimulate new markets for the lithograph; * To plan a format to guide the artisan in earning his living outside of subsidy or total dependence on the artist's pocket; * To restore the prestige of lithography by actually creating a collection of extraordinary prints. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamarind Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
