Summary: Talented Hands
Review: This 2002 publication gives the reader an excellent overview of contemporary Native American art of the Southwest. Examples from 100 of the top SW Native American artists are represented in the book and in a traveling exhibition sponsored by the American Craft Museum of NY. Both layout and photography are well done and brief bios of each artist are included. I know it was a difficult task to make the final decision of which artists to include and which to exclude. Being a collector of Hopi art, I would have liked to see a few more examples from the Hopi ... especially kachina/katsina dolls (only two in the book). It is a nice addition to any Native American art library.
