Description

This is a beautiful, hard cover copy of Generations: The Helen Cox Kersting Collection of Southwestern Cultural Arts, ed. by James Nottage, Cooperstown Graduate Program Alum from the Class of 1975.


Lavishly illustrated, Generations celebrates the nearly 800 works of Native American art in The Helen Cox Kersting Collection, including pottery, jewelry, baskets, weavings, katsinas, and paintings. Representing the work of Native artists from the late 1800s to the present, the collection demonstrates the survival and flowering of work by Navajo, Pueblo, and other American Indian artists across the generations.


Generations presents a visual feast of Native arts of the American Southwest, with approximately 550 color plates. Essays by James H. Nottage, Diana F. Pardue (Heard Museum), and Bruce Bernstein (Santa Fe Indian Market) provide insights into the history of the collection.
