The Painting with Wool Exhibit displayed over 60 weavings, some historic and some contemporary. The goal for this exhibit is to present a comprehensive collection of the most unusual pictorial weavings we have been able to assemble over the past 45 years (some old friends). This is the Premier offering for many of the collection pieces. Images are inspired by Navajo culture, ceremony and lifestyle, from sacred to whimsical. They truly represent a window into American and Native American life.
A catalog was printed to preserve the exhibit, as some pieces find new homes.
Weavings featured in the Painting with Wool Exhibit which are available for sale are listed below. As always, if you have any questions please call us at 520-455-5020.
