About the book
Spanning nearly one thousand years of artistic creativity, Native American Art from the Thomas W. Weisel Family Collection documents and celebrates a transformative gift to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The collection, developed by Thomas W. Weisel over the course of thirty years, is wide ranging and brings together artworks that embody exquisite aesthetics and rich cultural histories. While the majority of the collection is from the American Southwest -- 19th-century Diné/Navajo weavings, Ancestral and historic Pueblo pottery, Hopi and Zuni carved figures, and Yavapai and Ndee/Apache basketry -- works from the Pacific Northwest and the Plains are also included.
Ticket info
Free. Seating is limited and unassigned. Program tickets are distributed on a first-come first-served basis in front of the Koret Auditorium an hour before the program begins. This does not include admission to the museum.
