Judithe Hernández (b. 1948) became the official fifth member of "Los Four" immediately following the group's history-making exhibition in 1974 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Judithe Hernández had become acquainted with Carlos Almaraz when they attended graduate school at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and he introduced her to the group. With the addition of Judithe Hernández, "Los Four" became one of only two major Chicano artist collectives to include a woman, the other being "ASCO" (Willie Herron, Harry Gamboa, Jr., Gronk, and Patssi Valdez).
