El Museo Livermore was established in 2018 as a permanent showcase for Annabel Livermore’s 2003-8 cycle: The Journey of Death as Seen Through the Eyes of the Rancher’s Wife, which consists of ten oil paintings, each four feet by six feet on panel. During the late winter of 2003 Ms. Livermore spent six weeks in an isolated cabin on the remote Walker Ranch 40 miles east of Truth or Consequences, NM, where she began imaging what Lavern Walker must have seen during her weekly metaphysical trips into town to buy a loaf of bread. Not coincidentally, the Walker Ranch looked out upon El Jornada del Muerto, the treacherous pathway Conquistadors once took when they strayed too far from the Rio Grande. In 2008 The Journey of Death as Seen Through the Eyes of the Rancher’s Wife was exhibited at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil in Mexico City in a major Annabel Livermore retrospective and later travelled to three other museums in Mexico and the United States.
El Museo Livermore’s smaller front gallery exhibits a revolving show of Ms. Livermore’s other paintings, all of which are available for purchase.
