Native American Jemez Pueblo pottery Koshare figure, with drum and a bowl of watermelon slices

Each year we have watched Kathleen Wall’s work sell-out before noon at the Santa Fe Indian market. This Koshare was created in collaboration with her brother, Marcus Wall, and is signed accordingly. Kathleen confirmed to us on the phone that it was the work of both of them. It was made to sit on the edge of a shelf or any horizontal surface, with legs extending beyond and below the flat surface.

Kathleen Wall is a phenomenon. She is the only artist to receive the designation Native Treasures Living Treasure in two successive years. (To be candid, it was because her 2020 award event was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic and re-staged the succeeding year, 2021. Nevertheless, it’s in the record books.) She also received a New Mexico Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2021.

On a personal note, we owned a figure done by Kathleen that had some provenance questions. When we contacted her to clarify, she immediately remembered the piece. It was one of her first figures. We were happy to return it for her personal collection for what we had paid for it. She was thrilled.
