It was only after tribes were

little or no {information about the
artists. Basklets for example
weren’t signed.
While pottery could be identi
fied by tribal techniques and
characterics, it wasn’t signed.
For example, Acoma, San Ilde
fonso, Zuni and Hopi mesas still
paint deer, birds, flowers, geo
metric designs and identifiable
symbols of their villages onto
their pots, new techniques are
also used. That led her to seek
out contemporary artists and cat
alogue them as well as list the
characteristics of their work.
Potter B,J. Fragua, one of the
many artists listed, combines tra
ditional with contemporary tech
niques. Her pots can be recog
nized by their white backgrounds
as well as painted recessed de
signs. They are priced in galleries
from $250 to more than $l,OOO.
Another popular category is
textiles, blankets, and rugs.
When early examples come to
auction prices can be hin the
thousands of dollars. By their
very nature of fragility many
have not survived. Best known
are those made by the Southwest
ern Navajos. As Reno points out
their rug and blanket weaving is
so distinctive that historians hve
separated the styles into named
periods. Tho other tribes wove it

is the Navaho weaver who con
tinues to work, often combining
tradional with new inflfuences.
“Most amateur collectors have
absoluely no idea of the time and
effort it takes to make one small
rug or pottery bowl, “ said Reno.
“The prices or values put on
pieces created by native artists
often result in their getting paid
mere pennies per hour for their
work.”
CLUES: Most of the Native
American artist continue to bring
their works to fairs where they
sell for a fraction of gallery
prices. “If you can contact the
artist personally that is your best
bet,” Reno said. “This way you
won’t get a factory piece that is a
reproduction of a known artist’s
work. Considered quality pieces
as a good investment.”
Categories include art, baskets,
beadwork, carving, dolls and Ka
chinas, jewelry, pottery, sculp
ture, textiles, leather and a rela
tively new category,
sandpainting.
There is a list of galleries and
museums representing the artists.
The book, “The Official Price
Guide to Native American Art.”
by Dawn Reno is published by
House Of Collectibles, and has so
much important information it is
a must for any collector.
