LOGAN — Dane G. Hansen Museum will present “Earth and Loom: A Century of Native American Art,” scheduled to open May 16 and run through July 13.
The exhibit will consist of 20 Navajo weavings dating from the late 19th century to contemporary. They represent different regions and weaving styles over the past century. Also in the exhibit, will be 26 pieces of pueblo pottery representing the work of many significant Native American potters from nine different pueblos. This pottery also dates from the late 19th century to contemporary.
The exhibition is the private collection of Dennis and Carola Deschner of Phillipsburg. They started collecting nearly 30 years ago by accident when they bought a Navajo weaving in Colorado. They continued to find pieces as they travelled and fell in love with Southwestern Art, basketry, and Pueblo pottery.
