Yolanda del Riego: An Artist-Printmaker Formed in Alaska

Yolanda del Riego: An Artist-Printmaker Formed in Alaska

International Institute > Schedule > Conferences > Yolanda del Riego: An Artist-Printmaker Formed in Alaska

Join us for an evening of conversation with Spanish-American artist, Yolanda del Riego. This public talk and subsequent question-and-answer session with the audience will be conducted in English.

Over the past five decades, Yolanda del Riego has been creating highly expressive and lyrical art using a wide array of materials and supports. Printmaking, and the use of printmaking techniques, has been one of her primary means of expression. She has called Madrid home for many years, but in the 1960s and 70s she was living in the United States. She resided first on the east coast but in 1973 she moved to Anchorage, Alaska, and it was there that she learned printmaking. In 1976 she was accepted as a member artist of the Visual Arts Center Alaska, where she had the opportunity to learn printmaking and papermaking techniques from the many visiting artists who were invited for extended stays to give workshops.  As part of a vibrant community of artists, she also came into contact with musicians and creative people of all stripes. In Alaska she also encountered wild and immense landscapes, the likes of which she had never seen before. Yolanda drew on the strength of that lively arts community and the staggering beauty of the natural environment to develop her own style de ella as an artist and printmaker throughout the 70s, culminating in a year of dizzying creation in 1980.

The International Institute is pleased to welcome Yolanda to share her recollections of these formative years in Alaska and their lasting impact on her. We will talk about why printmaking captured her so powerfully and why she chose to use a reproductive medium to create unique, one-of-a-kind works of art. We will also learn why Anchorage in the 1970s was such an extraordinary place to be, culturally and intellectually, as a young artist.
