Navajo Textiles from the Bruce Museum
December 8, 2007 - March 24, 2008
The exhibition will explore an important period in the history of Navajo artistry as traditional methods of weaving where replaced by technological advances and the growth of a commercial interest in Navajo craft. Twelve stunning examples of pieces are on view that were created during the Transitional Period (1865-1895), when weaving was increasingly aimed at outside markets and production became focused on creating rugs rather than blankets. The exhibition is supported by the Theobald Foundation and the Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund.
