Mark Winter has been a collector for over 50 years. For nearly 30 years, he has owned the Historic Toadlena Trading Post in Newcomb, NM, working with contemporary Navajo weavers. In this presentation, The History and Development of Navajo Weaving, Mark will conduct a show & tell, utilizing examples of Hispanic, Pueblo, and Navajo textiles from the 18th Century to the present. Some examples from the upcoming auction will be incorporated. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn and prepare for the September 14 Navajo Rug & Indian Art Auction at MIP.

 

As a renowned authority on Navajo weavings, Mark has authored several publications, and he will have some books and catalogs available for purchase. This lecture in the 2024 MIP Education Series is open to the public and free. Donations will be gratefully accepted to support our educational programs. Regular museum admission rates apply.
