NATIVE STUDIO ART SINCE THE 1920S - The Healey Collection

Native modern studio art represents a critical yet often overlooked history. The publication sheds light on the remarkable, inter-generational story of modern Indigenous painters and sculptors who first developed and then revolutionised the movement for Native American fine art.

Native Studio Art Since the 1920s reproduces an outstanding group of works from the William P. Healey Collection at the Saint Louis Art Museum. The selection includes sixty-three Indigenous artists across a range of media, with a focus on the Western United States. The book's comprehensive breadth conveys major narratives and key figures of twentieth century Native American art. Advancing multi-vocal knowledge, this collection catalogue features essays by art historians, conservators, and artists' relations.
