Marlowe Katoney's latest pictorial weaving was among those sold last Saturday.
Our busy 2011 auction schedule has drawn to a close with last Saturday’s Maxwell Museum Auction in Bernalillo, New Mexico. We continue to be amazed by the innovations of the weavers who bring their work to us. Marlowe Katoney’s pictorial, seen above, is just one example. Other weavers attending Saturday’s auction were Bessie Littleben and Zonnie Gilmore. We’re working on our 2012 schedule and we’ll have it posted as soon as possible. In the meantime, we’ll post some pictures of some memorable moments from this year and we’ll thank all of the weavers and buyers who made this year so great.
Perhaps our youngest attendee at Saturday’s auction was Sunshine Burnham, daughter of Austin and Ashley Burnham, seen below with her grandmother Virginia and in her new cradleboard, carefully held by Hank Blair.

The summer Smoki Museum auctions were held last Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Friday’s auction featured Native American art and Western memorabilia, while Saturday’s auction showcased Navajo weaving. We’ve done a collage of a few of the pictures from the rug auction, which is always a fascinating combination of vintage and contemporary work and is attended by several weavers.
Our next outing will be during Indian Market at the Native Treasures Show in Santa Fe, NM, August 19th – 21st. See you there!
