This full-color publication highlights beautiful objects-both
useful and ceremonial-made by the Indigenous artists of the
Northwest Coast and Alaska. Since 1925, the Denver Art Museum has
collected both historic and contemporary arts from these regions on
the criterion of aesthetic quality. This guide, published on the
occasion of the reopening of the Denver Art Museum's permanent
collection galleries for Northwest Coast and Alaska Native art,
includes seldom-told stories about individual artworks, as well as
the museum's history of working with living Native artists. From
the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition to recent commissions
by Marianne Nicolson and Michael Nicholl Yahgulanaas, the Denver
Art Museum has long been committed to collaborating with and
incorporating contemporary artists into the collection. Alongside
the museum's first-rate collection, contributions from four
contemporary Indigenous artists provide context for historical
works created by their cultures.
