Enrique Chagoya (Mexican-American, b. 1953, Mexico City)
Untitled
Color lithograph on paper, framed

Chagoya's work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the National Gallery of Art, SFMoMA, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He has received two NEA Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Tiffany Fellowship. Professor at Stanford University since 1995.

Chagoya layers pre-Columbian imagery with fragments of American popular culture — comic book heroes colliding with codex figures, colonial maps folded into cartoon panels. This color lithograph carries that collision in a single compressed image. Printed with the precision that comes from decades of collaboration with master print shops including Crown Point Press.
