Golden Eagle feathers are sacred within American Indian traditions, and represent honesty,
strength, courage, and freedom. These characteristics are embodied in the attributes of cancer
patients undergoing treatment: honesty in accepting the diagnosis, and strength and courage in
embracing the treatment protocol, with the ultimate hope of realizing freedom from the disease.

Dear Sweetheart Auction Patrons:
Welcome! It is our pleasure to welcome you to
the 16th Annual Cancer Foundation
for New Mexico’s Sweetheart Auction!
For the past fifteen years we have met in person for an evening that
has become one of Santa Fe’s most popular events. Last February, 900
guests packed the Santa Fe Community Convention Center for food, wine,
conviviality, and most importantly an opportunity to support the work of the
Foundation through a silent and live auction, and a paddle raiser.
While it’s challenging to replicate that festive spirit through an online
event – we’re doing our darndest to do just that! In addition to sharing the
customary patient and provider stories, and honorary and memorial tributes,
we’ve added celebrity appearances and performances created especially
for the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico’s virtual event. With our online
accessibility, we are excited to reach many new supporters who can join us
from afar – welcome to the family!
We want to thank our magnanimous business and individual sponsors for
helping to make this virtual event possible. Even during the pandemic, our
generous community item donors have made this virtual silent auction, at
425 auction lots strong, one of our most spectacular!
Thank you to everyone who has participated in producing this multi-faceted
program, and especially our Steering Committee Chaired by Larri Short,
which has worked alongside our dedicated staff.
Now delve into the silent auction and BID, and DONATE – knowing that
a remarkable 85% of every dollar spent by the Cancer Foundation for
New Mexico is dedicated to patient programming and services!
Thank you and enjoy!

Richard Lampert returns to the
Cancer Foundation for New Mexico’s
Sweetheart Auction as Master of
Ceremonies, having served as its
Auctioneer for over a decade.
Zaplin Lampert Gallery partners
Richard Lampert and Mark Zaplin
(1952-2014) grew up together in
Massachusetts. In 1972, in the
basement of a Boston bookstore,
they discovered a large collection
of photographs by the legendary
Edward S. Curtis. This trove of
images, from Curtis’s thirty-year
project documenting the American
Indian, led Richard and Mark to the
West and to their careers as dealers
in fine art.
Photo: Jesse Fisher, Cut Print Video Production
After settling in Santa Fe in 1977,
they traveled the United States
as private art dealers, exhibiting the Curtis works at museums and private
institutions. As their business grew, their interests and expertise expanded
to include historic paintings and works on paper by the pioneering artist/
explorers of the American West, including such names as George Catlin, Karl
Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, Thomas Moran, and Albert Bierstadt.
Zaplin Lampert Gallery opened its doors in June of 1987 on Santa Fe’s
historic Canyon Road. The gallery quickly gained recognition as a premiere
source for the works of the early artists of the Taos Society of Artists and the
Santa Fe Art Colony, and for American paintings of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. It has also established itself as a primary resource for
collectors of the celebrated New Mexico printmakers Gustave Baumann
and Gene Kloss.
