Blast from the past!✨

Here is Adobe Gallery owner Alexander E. Anthony at his original gallery location in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 1976 and dedicated to building quality collections since day one, Adobe Gallery has spent decades connecting passionate collectors with extraordinary pieces of Southwest history.

It’s a privilege to witness Al’s lifelong passion for championing Native American culture and art. He shows up every day fueled by a simple love for what he does: encouraging non-Native audiences to understand the deeper meaning behind traditional pottery forms and symbols. Integrity lies at the very heart of our brand, and we believe every artwork in this gallery deserves its moment in the spotlight.
Stop by to explore our latest collection, hear the stories behind the art, and see history in the making.

It’s all in the details! Viewing art and formulating ideas is the core of visual language. There is terminology that, after consistently viewing art, comes naturally. These are known as the Elements and Principles of design. Knowing these terms inform and unify broad audiences about the deeper concepts art can possess.

Elements of Design are listed below✨

Line: A mark connecting two points; defines shape, direction, and visual movement.

Shape: A two-dimensional area enclosed by lines or defined by color and value.

Form: A three-dimensional object with volume, depth, and physical presence.

Space: The area around, within, or between elements (positive and negative space).

Color: The visual perception of light broken into hue, value, and intensity.

Value: The relative lightness or darkness of a color, tone, or hue.

Texture: The look or feel of a surface, whether tactile (physical) or visual (implied).

Artist Highlight Sunday!✨

Born in Utah, Pop Chalee’s mother was Swiss, and her father was Native American from Taos Pueblo (Tuah-Tah). In addition to moving back to the Pueblo with her father at a young age, she always displayed artistic interest. In 1935, she attended the Santa Fe Indian School under the direction of Dorothy Dunn, who encouraged her unique artistic talents rather than teaching her how to paint in any particular way. This approach encouraged her signature painting style and centered individuality over expectation.

Accused of painting in a "Bambi Style," she explained that it was the other way around - Walt Disney Studios painted in her style after purchasing her art in the late 1930s.

“You know, eating pe**te made you see colors in their pure, pure form. Beautiful clean colors. That’s where I get a lot of my colors…. You really saw beauty with pe**te.” - Pop Chalee

If you walk around Santa Fe and notice whimsical figures and foliage framing doorways, specifically at Rainbow Man, or large buffalo figures adorning the walls at Albuquerque Sunport, that is Pop Chalsee’s artwork! A permanent mark of the talented artist.

We hope to see you this weekend!✨
Indian Market is here! We are excited to celebrate its 104th year of championing Native American art, and hosting hundreds of sovereign nations in the heart of Santa Fe.

Featured in this post are stunning examples of historic and modern Kha'p'oo Owinge (Santa Clara Pueblo) pottery by the matriarchs Nancy Youngblood, Mela Tafoya Youngblood, Legoria Tafoya, Margaret Tafoya, and Sara Fina Tafoya.

Sergio Lugo, winner of Indian Market’s Best In Show, descended from these featured matriarchs. His award-winning pottery blends the traditional black-on-black polished forms of his ancestors with contemporary rectilinear forms and micaceous slips. Creating artworks that dance with the shadows they cast.

Indian Market is here! We are excited to celebrate its 104th year of championing Native American art, and hosting hundreds of sovereign nations in the heart of Santa Fe.

Featured in this post are stunning examples of modern Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) pottery. With rich black pigment designs upon soft cream backgrounds, these pieces really stand out. Made with intention and standing the test of time, these traditional forms offer organic designs that represent the world around us.

Mimbres Kokopelli Etching by Helen Hardin (Learn More Here 🧐)
https://www.adobegallery.com/art/mimbres-kokopelli-etching-helen-hardin-santa-clara-pueblo
Originating with the Hopis and widely known today around the Southwest, the Kokopelli is a legend dating back over 3,000 years, when the first petroglyphs were carved. He is traditionally depicted as a humpback flute player, and is known as a symbol of fertility, replenishment, music, dance, and mischief. Some portrayals may be particularly more obscene than others, and this fascinating etching made by famed Santa Clara painter Helen Hardin could certainly be considered graphic.

Zia Pueblo Historic Polychrome Water Canteen (Learn More Here 🧐)
https://www.adobegallery.com/art/zia-pueblo-historic-polychrome-water-canteen-designs
This is an exquisite small water canteen from Zia Pueblo, created most probably in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This fine piece was coil-formed with local clay with the addition of crushed basaltic temper. The underbody was stone-polished red-slipped paste in a warm brick red color. Zia Pueblo cream slip mellows out to a darker shade over time and is a good indicator of the age of a vessel. It additionally provides a warm glow sharply enhancing the feeling of the overall vessel.
