This book introduces a new collection of Native modern art. Recently acquired by the Saint Louis Art Museum, the William P. Healey Collection of Native American Art features outstanding drawings, paintings, and sculptures with a focus on the western United States. In catalogue essays, art historians, conservators, and artists’ relations examine major themes and histories. The multivocal scholarship beautifully complements this remarkable collection to expand narratives of Indigenous art history.
