Guy Berger and Nancy Schiffer

Authors: Guy Berger and Nancy Schiffer

Cover: Paperback

Page Count: 160

This special pottery combines the traditions of Pueblo and Navajo artists from Arizona and New Mexico with daring new interpretations by the modern generation. In hundreds of beautiful color photos, styles inherently connected with old beliefs and Southwest clay are shown to have a fresh appearance in the hands of contemporary pottery.

Bowls, plates, ollas, pitchers, miniatures, nativity sets, storytellers, figurines, and vases by potters in Acoma Hopi, Jemez, Navajo, San Felipe, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Ana, Zia, and Zuni families are featured. Current retail values are included. The Directory of Artists includes kachina carvers, jewelry makers, sculptors, and potters. This reference section alone makes the book indispensable for all who are interested in contemporary Indian arts.

Guy Berger is a second-generation trader at Palms Trading Co. in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Nancy Schiffer is a writer whose work includes books about Southwest arts and jewelry.
