Gail Bird (Santo Domingo/Laguna) and Yazzie Johnson (Navajo) have been making jewelry together since 1972 and are considered among the first rank of Native American artists. Shared Images is a retrospective of their careers in the decorative arts, spanning the early 1970s to the present. Drawing inspiration from prehistoric pictograph and petroglyph sites, Johnson and Bird have developed a distinctive set of designs that continue to inspire contemporary creations. The book documents their collaborative process and features a range of exemplary pieces shown in museums and galleries across the country.

The cutting edge: Contemporary Southwestern jewelry and metalwork

Heard Museum

Alfonso Roybal, better known as Awa Tsireh (Cat Tail Bird in the Tewa language), was born in the small pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico, in 1898. He became arguably the finest Native American painter of the first half of the twentieth century. To date, the authors have documented more than four hundred of Awa Tsireh’s paintings in numerous private collections and more than thirty museums. Awa Tsireh’s metalwork in silver, copper, and aluminum is a completely different story. This book brings together more of his metalwork than has previously been shown in one setting. Awa Tsireh created jewelry, platters, and other serviceware at the Garden of the Gods Trading Post in Manitou Springs, Colorado, where he worked with other Native metalsmiths, many to date unidentified, in the summer months during the 1930s and 1940s. Rarely has Awa Tsireh’s metalwork bought by Trading Post visitors made its way into museum collections. Awa Tsireh’s recognizable and charming imagery and the quality of his hand and imagination, however, illuminate all of his pieces. His metalwork is further evidence that the Pueblo artist’s talent transcended medium, material, and milieu. This book will coincide with an exhibition at the Heard Museum November 3, 2017 through July 15, 2018. Published by the Heard Museum.
