46 AUGUST IN SANTA FE Santa Fe—For decades, each August Santa Fe has served as a hub for the tribal art collecting community. This year, the shows there will be bigger than ever before. The oldest of the four shows that will be held in the “City Different” are the two produced by Whitehawk Associates and held consecutively at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, just a few blocks from the Plaza. Combined in recent years, this summer they will be separate again and larger than ever. The fi rst of these is the 31st annual Ethnographic Art Show, open August 14 and 15. It will feature more than 100 dealers presenting ethnographic and tribal antique art from around the world, including Spanish Colonial, Mexican, Oceanic, Asian, African, and Pre-Columbian art, as well as furniture, rugs, jewelry, devotional art, religious relics, textiles, and paintings from around the world. This is followed by the 37th annual Antique Indian Art Show on August 17 and 18. It is the world’s largest and longest-running show dedicated to historic and antique American Indian art, ranging from Northwest Coast masks to Southwestern pottery, jewelry, and textiles; from California baskets to Plains beadwork of all types; and rounded out with artifacts from the Western, Great Lakes, and Woodland groups. More or less concurrent with these two events is another pair of shows, these produced by Kim Martindale and John Morris and held at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, near the old city railyard. The fi rst of these is titled Objects of Art, Santa Fe. Held from August 13–15, this is a world antique show featuring everything from modernist textiles to Pre-Columbian sculpture presented by more than seventy dealers. The same space will host The Antique American Indian Art Show, Santa Fe from August 18–20. As the title suggests, this show focuses on traditional Native American art presented by some three dozen dealers. The range of material presented in these shows is vast, but with more than two hundred dealers presenting their most interesting artworks, there certainly should be something for everyone in Santa Fe that week.
