STEPHEN SHORE (b. 1947), West 9th Avenue, Amarillo, Texas, October 2, 1974
Amarillo is located at the end of both I-40 and I-27 and intersects with US-60 and US-87. We are a highway city that is often discovered by people in route to other destinations. At one time, US RT-66 went through Amarillo’s booming downtown, just as it did through every major city on its way from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California. In celebration of 100 years of Route 66, works selected for the ArtSpace from AMoA’s permanent collection reflect themes of nostalgia, road trips and the beauty found in places along the way.
