Overview

Featuring new acquisitions and loans from the collection of Norman Sherman, this exhibition explores the style and rich history of Mata Ortiz pottery. Created by contemporary artisans in the town of Mata Ortiz in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, this style of pottery draws inspiration from traditional Casas Grandes and Paquimé ceramics that were rediscovered in the 1970s. This modern interpretation of a traditional style revitalized the economy of this small town and led to greater attention from the art world. Through intricate geometric patterning and elegant zoomorphic designs, these artists demonstrate the continuation of an ancient art form.
