Book Description
This book is an useful and invaluable resource for both collectors and dealers of Native American art forms. Focusing on the traditional works of the Southwest, such as silver jewelry, beadwork, quillwork, pottery, rugs, baskets, fetish carvings, and katsina dolls, collectors are offered guidelines to help them identify quality in contemporary Indian art, distinguish what dealers are reputable and which are not; learn how to recognize fraudulent work and know what to do if non-authentic merchandise is purchased; and learn more through recommended reading lists. Indian artists and art experts explain not only the dynamic history and technical process of their crafts, but also present personal views into their creative worlds. Beautiful, colored photographs highlight the intricate details of each craft.
