This Exhibit features four master Acoma potters and their families who inspired the traditional Acoma pottery revival. The four matriarchs promoted and cultivated a legacy, and thus helped rejuvenate Acoma’s “Pottery Tradition” that would later pave the way for all future Acoma master potters. Each Matriarch (Lucy M. Lewis, Marie Z. Chino, Jessie Garcia, and Juana Leno) developed and perfected a signature style now sought after by galleries and private collectors worldwide.

In a collaborative construction depending to a great extent on the properties of its media, David Leigh and Ben Meisner will build large, complex forms in the MuOoz Waxman Gallery for their exhibition, Red in Particular. The title references how the visibility of any colored image will depend on its relation to the colored walls and forms around it: a green image might darken behind a red wall, and easily vanish behind a green one.

Thus did the curio trade begin, expanding to include a network of cottage industries, retail venues and a booming mail order business that all had far-reaching consequences into the 20th century.
