San Francisco, California
1926
Silkscreen on paper Height 22 inches (55.9 cm); width 14 inches (35.6 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Scottsdale, Arizona
Paul Elder's Gallery in San Francisco was an established bookseller and fine arts venue active in the early 20th century that occasionally presented exhibition programming on American Indian subjects. This 1926 silkscreen poster was produced in connection with one such exhibition and features a kachina image as its central motif, reflecting the broad collector and institutional interest in Pueblo ceremonial art that characterized the period. Exhibition posters of this type were produced in limited quantities for display purposes and were rarely preserved after the close of the event.
The Scottsdale provenance is consistent with the Southwest collecting networks through which such material typically circulated. The 1926 date places this poster within the early period of organized gallery programming on Native American art on the West Coast. The kachina subject and silkscreen format connect this piece to the wider production of printed Southwest imagery during the interwar period.
