Published in association with the Heard Museum. The bolo tie, also
called a string tie, is a western necktie consisting of a piece of
cord or braided leather with an ornamental clasp. While the exact
origin of the bolo tie has been debated, its impact on western
style and culture is without question. The bolo is the official
neckwear of several states, including Texas, New Mexico, and
Arizona. Native American artisans in the Southwest began producing
bolo ties in the mid-twentieth century, at the height of America's
fascination with cowboy and western culture, and in response to
tourist demand for finely crafted Native American jewellery. This
publication is the first to showcase a wide variety of Native
American made bolo ties produced in the Southwest over the past
sixty years. Drawing from collector Norman L Sandfield's collection
as well as pieces from the Heard Museum's permanent collections,
Native American Bolo Ties presents over zoo examples of bolo ties,
vintage and contemporary, primarily created by Zuni, Hopi and
Navajo artists and silversmiths, among others, and incorporating a
variety of styles, materials, and designs which exemplify the fine
lapidary and silverwork that distinguish Native December jewellery.
This book is published to coincide with an exhibition at the Heard
Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2011.
