Painted Perfection: The Pottery of Dextra Quotskuyva
Exhibition Dates
A thirty-year retrospective of work by one of the most innovative and accomplished living potters, Painted Perfection featured more than 100 of the Hopi-Tewa master’s finest works, selected from museums and private collections throughout the nation. Included are vessels by her mother, Rachel Namingha; grandmother, Annie Healing; great-grandmother, Nampeyo; and the exceptional young artists to whom Quotskuyva has been a mentor.
“Dextra Quotskuyva (1928) is one of the most influential Native American potters of the past half-century. She learned her masterful handling of clay through her distinguished family, which has excelled in the art for more than 125 years. Each of her painted designs is unique, and each is executed flawlessly. Painted Perfection is the first major retrospective exhibition devoted to this master, who was named an Arizona Living Treasure in 1994.” —Martha Hopkins Streuver
A full color exhibition catalog, Painted Perfection: The Pottery of Dextra Quotskuyva, was made in association with the exhibition and is available in the Case Trading Post.
