Bruce Stark Lowney †

Bruce Stark Lowney (1937-2019) was born in Los Angeles, California. He obtained a BA in Fine Arts and English Literature from North Texas State University in 1959 and a MA in Printmaking and Art History from San Francisco State University in 1966. In between the two degrees, he served in the Army at White Sands, New Mexico which gave him a taste for southwestern landscapes and a desire to reside in New Mexico. Bruce’s work is in the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of New Mexico, Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Library of Congress, and Albuquerque Museum. In 2011, a retrospective exhibition in Albuquerque, New Mexico featured his tri-tone lithographic and major oil works (‘Quest for the Sublime: Forty Years of Bruce Lowney’, Exhibit/208) and another exhibition at the same gallery in 2015 featured his recent works (‘Pictures 2012-2015’, Exhibit/208).
