CMA 2010: "Art of the American Indians: The Thaw Collection" March 7 - May 30, 2010 --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: The museum commissioned this vessel from Nancy Youngblood, who descends from generations of female potters of the Santa Clara Pueblo. She aims to perpetuate the traditional ceramic forms and methods of her forebearers. Thus, the vessel's shape echoes the pueblo's typical gourd-shaped ceramics, but its 32 hand-carved ribs are Youngblood's distinctive artistic signature. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Cleveland Museum of Art, “New Acquisitions Enter the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection,” February 14, 1995, Cleveland Museum of Art Archives. page number: url: https://archive.org/details/cmapr3939/page/n1 --- IMAGES
