James Lavadour (b. 1951), Land of Origin, 2015, oil on panel, 6 panels; overall: 39 x 78 in. Jane and Spencer Beebe Family Trust.

We are excited to share that James Lavadour’s retrospective exhibition, James Lavadour: Land of Origin, will be traveling to the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, WA,  January 31-June 7, 2026.

"James Lavadour: Land of Origin presents the most comprehensive survey to date of works by painter and printmaker James Lavadour (Walla Walla). Spanning five decades of work, this national retrospective celebrates Lavadour’s deep connection to the eastern Oregon landscape, particularly the Umatilla Indian Reservation and surrounding Blue Mountains region where the artist has spent most of his life, and recognizes his esteemed place in contemporary American painting. The exhibition includes Lavadour’s magnificent signature grid paintings, works on individual panels, and prints, most of which have never been exhibited together. It will draw on significant loans from the artist, major museum collections, and private lenders. Recognizing one of Oregon and the nation’s most original and powerful artists, James Lavadour: Land of Origin will also be accompanied by a full catalogue."
