In Memoriam: Luis Jimenez (1940−2006)

Luis was a close friend to many people here at SAAM and his Vaquero, long installed at our north entrance, is a symbol of the museum. It’s going to take us a few days to gather our thoughts and share a full account of this remarkable artist’s life.

Vaquero is being reinstalled outside the museum today in anticipation of the July 1 opening of the museum: we’ll post pictures and video.
