About the Exhibit
There is a long, rich and dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation in Native American art. Abstract iconography has been implemented to represent the known and unknown world since prehistoric times. Native artists have honored and built upon this extraordinary tradition, particularly during the unique artistic movements of the 20th century. For Native artists, elements of abstraction have held an increasingly significant space within this continuum.
We are excited to present a strong grouping of artworks that both reference and fully embrace abstraction in the upcoming exhibition.
