Mark Sublette, President, Medicine Man Gallery There is a continued broad-based interest in Native American art. Our sales occur throughout the United States, and lately, we have had more inquiries from overseas, especially Japan. We specialize in Native American jewelry and find this to be the most active area of sales with Navajo rugs a close second.
Native American jewelry pre-1950s has been strong, and there is great interest in the master silversmiths, which include but are not limited to Kenneth Begay, Mark Chee and Julian Lovato. Squash blossom necklaces and turquoise rings are particularly in demand, and we have found Hopi jewelry across the spectrum to be gaining momentum, especially the pre-1960 examples.
On the painting front, Shonto Begay, while not new to the contemporary art scene, has an avid collector base and continues to be one of the leaders for Native art collectors.
Medicine Man Gallery specializes in handling large estates, which we purchase weekly. This material, fresh to the market and priced correctly, does not stay in inventory long. Each Wednesday morning, we send out an e-blast of our latest acquisitions; it is not uncommon to sell half of our offerings in the first hour of posting the objects on [our website].—
