Description
This well-illustrated book studies pieces from the Peabody Museum's Wright collection of twentieth-century Pueblo pottery, Navajo and Hopi textiles, and baskets from a range of southwestern and other Native American peoples. The book also discusses the market-influenced environment of modern Native American art, ranging from what some might consider the low end of tourist art multiples to the high end of unique, signed fine art objects. Makers and Markets describes the changing Indian art collecting environment from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, exploring the world of the modern Indian artist, illustrating concurrent approaches to community and art market ideas, and trends in design and marketing.
