nyc opening…..my weaving featured in changing hands exhibit


On May 9, 2002 the first of three series Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation opened at the then American Craft Museum in New York City.  The American Craft Museum is now known as the Museum of Art and Design.  I had three of my most contemporary weavings in this first series exhibition!  I was quite honored by this exhibition.  My work was so new that I had not sold any of the pieces in this exhibition.  After the pieces were returned to me, all three weavings sold like hotcakes!! 

Here is an excerpt from the catalogue:

“Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation is a landmark new series of three titles that assembles, documents, interprets, and explores the rich diversity of craft, art, and design being produced today by contemporary Native American artists.”

I posted an image of the catalogue that features this exhibition.  I do not know if the Museum of Art and Design still sells this book in their Museum Shop.  Please contact them at www.madmuseum.org.

    Thanks, Morris. I looked online and found it several places, including the museum. I ordered it from Powell’s Books in Portland, OR. It is hardcover and is only 12.63 + shipping, but it says it might have “shelf wear.” the museum hardcover is $60. and paperback is about $20. It was an Easter egg hunt. I’m glad to see you back online. I am still enjoying my jewelry so much and constantly get compliments on it. My favorite is the one similar to yours, the corn maiden with the olive green stone with a turquoise stripe through it. The bracelet with the many colors of turquoise is a close second. I wear it nearly every day. Take care! Tahne
