November 5th, 2020 - Treasures from Pueblo Masters

While it may seem somewhat incongruent to group together so many different sovereign nations under the Spanish word for town, the Pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona each have distinct artistic and cultural traditions and attributes, they also have many commonalities as well. With this collection, we are celebrating the variety and mastery of materials by the descendants of the original inhabitants of the American Southwest.
Shiprock Santa Fe is pleased to present a group of pieces by renowned Pueblo artists, both contemporary and historic, as well as a few works from unnamed master weavers, potters and jewelers of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
From a stylized, updated representation of the Chongo brothers by Diego Romero, an exquisite matched pair of deeply repoussed cuffs by Ralph Tawangywayma and a stunning abstracted gold ring by Charles Loloma, the mastery of Pueblo artists is on full display.
