Always a spirited event with furious bidding and record prices, the Santa Fe Art Auction’s August American Indian Sale will feature historic and contemporary Native art including pottery, textiles, painting, katsinas, jewelry and beadwork. This will be one of the largest Native American art sales that the auction has ever put together and will include a series of sales broken down by genre.

This year’s sale includes several important pottery collections, including fine work by Maria Martinez, Nampeyo, Fannie Nampeyo, Russell Sanchez, Nancy Youngblood, and Tony Da. The auction house will also offer a very strong collection of historic and contemporary Native American paintings, from Dorothy Dunn school artists such as Gerald Nailor, Andy Tsinajinnie, Beatien Yazz, Percy Sandy, Pablita Velarde, Helen Hardin and Quincy Tahoma as well as contemporary masters such as Tony Abeyta, Fritz Scholder and Earl Biss.
