Summary:

Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation is a landmark new series of three titles that assembles, documents, interprets, and explores the rich diversity of craft, art, and design being produced today by contemporary Native American artists. Works included in the volumes have been selected on aesthetic merits rather than ethnological grounds, and so together form a notable contribution to the study of contemporary art in general. The first volume, which looks at Native American art of the Southwest, focuses on the work of nearly ninety of the most exciting and innovative artists of the region, working in a variety of media, from clay to glass, from fiber to jewelry, and from metal to wood, as well as mixed media. Over two hundred magnificent color images reveal the often provocative and satirical work of such artists as Diego Romero, Roxanne Swentzell, and Virgil Ortiz, as well as cutting-edge experimentalism from such potters as Tammy Garcia, such glass artists as Tony Jojola, and such jewelers as Dylan Poblano.

Personal statements by artists accompany the works, which are further illuminated by essays and commentaries from respected experts in the field, including David Revere McFadden, Ellen Napiura Taubman, Bruce Bernstein, and Dexter Cirillo. A bibliography of Native American art today has also been included. Above all, this series offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the dazzling work of pioneers defying traditional Native American cultural stereotypes, and of younger artists exploring their own new ground. With two further volumes planned, covering contemporary Native American art from California, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes, the Plains, the Southeast, and the East Coast, this series will be an essential companion for collectors and anyone interested in Native American culture.
