McCulloch, Frank
Frank McCulloch’s is the granddaddy of Albuquerque artists. His list of exhibitions and awards covers the entire wall. His retrospective exhibit in 2008 at the Albuquerque Museum was such a testament to his vast career and enormous talent. A recipient of the New Mexico Governor’s Award in the Arts, University of New Mexico Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, Albuquerque Arts Alliance Bravos Award, and AABA Local Treasure, is just a partial list of his recognition as a painter and an artist here in the land of enchantment. Born in Gallup in 1930, with a BFA from UNM and Masters from NM Highlands and Istituto Allende, Mexico, Frank taught art to many of our noted Albuquerque artists including Angus Macpherson. His legacy has been covered in Southwest Art Magazine, New Mexico Magazine, Art News, and American Artist to name a few. One of my favorite McCulloch paintings is part of the public art collection at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Sumner & Dene is honored to have Frank in our stable. Watch for Frank in “Landscape Artists of New Mexico” narrated by Ali McGraw airing on PBS in June 2010. The book of Frank’s paintings and poetry “Imagenes de mi Tierra” is available at Sumner & Dene in soft and hard bound copies.
