WHERE TO CATCH UP WITH US NEXT

NOW, THE MARIN SHOW:

February 24–26, 2012

THE 28TH ANNUAL MARIN SHOW: ART OF THE AMERICAS

Marin Center and Embassy Suites, San Rafael CA

Saturday 10-6, Sunday 11–5

Directions: Take US 101 to the San Pedro Road/Civic Center Exit, turn left on Civic Center Drive and follow it past the lagoon, then turn right on Avenue of the Flags and follow it to the end. Parking is free. The Embassy Suites is across the footbridge to the north.

For years, this was the biggest and most important antique Indian art show in the world. Other important shows have come along lately, but for us, this is still number one, with more than 200 of the world’s most important dealers filling the Marin Center exhibit hall and the ground floor of the Embassy Suites nearby. Put it this way: If you want to ask an expert, they’ll all be here.

ALSO, WE’LL BE SIGNING OUR NEW LITTLE BOOK, WHICH IS MAKING ITS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE! Click to see about it.

NOTE: We’d like to encourage you to make shows like this one in Davis. Sometimes we get pots to the shows before we can get them to the site. Even though we update the site pretty much weekly, half a dozen wonderful pieces (among them, a rare 19th century Mojave or O’odham figurine, an elegant early Hopi seed jar later attributed to Nampeyo and a bargain-priced Lucy Lewis) all sold at recent shows before we could get them posted.

STOP BY AND SEE OUR LITTLE EXHIBIT

AT THE MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN NOVATO

After Living Tradition, a Thousand Years of Southwestern Pottery ended its year-long run in June 2010, the Museum put us back to work curating an ongoing mini-exhibit of pieces from their permanent collection. Then & Now is a two-case exhibit of 20 pieces that includes a spectacular giant Hohokam storage jar from 1350, one of the prettiest Mimbres geometrics you’ll ever see from 1050, and a marvelous oversized Acoma seed jar by Barbara and Joe Cerno covered with rampaging Mimbres lizards.

WE ALSO SERVED AS GUEST CURATORS

FOR THE MUSEUM’S CURRENT JEWELRY EXHIBIT

HURRY FOR THIS ONE. ITS LAST DAY IS FEBRUARY 14.

The Museum of the American Indian’s exhibits prove that, although it’s a small Museum, it isn’t afraid to tackle big concepts. This time, the Museum dug into its collections to produce Silver Stone Shell, Jewelry of California and the Southwest, a show that displays historic and prehistoric adornments and a broad range of modern jewelry and jewelry-related pieces. Along with the finished products, you’ll see a case devoted to Process that shows tools, materials and methods that artists have used over the centuries.
