Description

Something Old, Something New: Nothing Borrowed

From the evocative visual art of Eliza Naranjo-Morse (Santa Clara Pueblo) and Marla Allison (Laguna Pueblo), to masterworks by Fritz Scholder (Luiseño) and Jaune Quick-To-See Smith (Enrolled Flathead Salish), the exhibit Something Old, Something New, Nothing Borrowed – Recent Acquisitions from the Heard Museum Collection showcases some of the newest works of art acquired by the Heard Museum.

Many of the pieces come from generous gifts made to the Heard in recent years, including the Virginia Wilson collection of contemporary pottery with major works by Karen Abeita (Hopi Pueblo), Samuel Manymules (Navajo) and others. In addition, the Mary and Pablo Enriquez collection of paintings gifted this past year includes works by leading painters of the past century including Gerald Nailor (Navajo) and Helen Hardin (Santa Clara Pueblo). Other key donations are a micaceous jar by Lonnie Vigil (Nambe Pueblo) given by American Indian Art Magazine in honor of the Heard’s 80th anniversary and an early painting by Ernest Spybuck (Shawnee) from the Heard Museum Council .

One piece, an art book created by Dallin Maybee (Northern Arapaho/Seneca) entitled “Beniiseiht,” was purchased by the Heard Museum Guild Library Fund in honor of the late Andy Eisenberg. The book features handcrafted dolls gracing the beaded leather cover and superlative ledger art inside.

Other pieces include a wasp brooch in silver with South Seas pearl and plique á jour wings by contemporary jeweler Liz Wallace (Washoe/Maidu/Navajo), a wonderfully-inlaid belt buckle titled “Shattered” by Zuni artist Colin Coonsis and a set of silverworking stamps by Navajo silversmith Fred Peshlakai, as well as contemporary jewelry by Norbert Peshlakai, Mike Bird-Romero (Ohkay Owingeh), and Daniel Sunshine Reeves (Navajo).

“The Heard Museum is honored to receive these special gifts from some of our dedicated supporters,” says curator Diana Pardue. “We are also honored that the Heard Museum Council continues to raise funds to purchase significant works of art for the permanent collection.”
