Dear Friends,
We suffered a terrible loss this October with the tragic death of Jose
Marin. Jose was a highly respected and integral figure in this community
as well as a devoted and loving husband and father.
Jose was born in Cardenas, Cuba in 1962. He graduated with a BA in Fine
Arts from the University of South Florida in 1988 and moved to Los
Angeles
in 1992. While in Los Angeles he held many important positions in the
arts, to include Curator at Gemini G.E.L., Chief Preparator at Pace
Wildenstein, and Chief Preparator at the J. Paul Getty Center. He also
worked for a number of other institutions, galleries, private collectors
and artists.
He is survived by his wife Stacia Payne, MOCAs Manager of Exhibition
Programs and Curatorial Affairs, and their two young daughters Maya and
Luisa, who are 5 and 2 years old, respectively. The Jose Marin Family
Fund
was created to support Maya and Luisas educations.
While many generous contributions have been made, several prominent Los
Angeles art world members initiated an exhibition to further enhance the
Trust.
The response to a call for works has been tremendous with many local and
international artists and galleries generously donating work to be
privately sold with the proceeds going to the Jose Marin Family Fund.
The artists include:
John Baldessari, Jeremy Blake, Delia Brown, Morgan Fisher, Richard
Hawkins, Margaret Honda, Konstantin Kakanias, Martin Kippenberger,
Barbara
Kruger, Laura London, T. Kelly Mason, Jason Meadows, J.P. Munro, Jorge
Pardo, Ugo Rodinone, Thaddeus Strode, Diana Thater, Pae White,
Christopher
Williams, Christopher Wool, ...among others
Please feel free to contact Christine Nichols at Works on Paper, Inc.
with
any questions. Thank you for your very kind consideration and support
of
this special endeavor.
Additional cash contributions may be made by sending a check made out to
the Jose Marin Family Fund to:
