We are pleased to offer selections of early beadwork from the Fraser Douglass Collection, Cincinnati; contemporary art from the Van Zelst Collection, Chicago; and a group of ethnographic Arctic material from Clifford J. MacGregor, a meteorologist and Arctic explorer. A few highlight lots include a monumental Western Mono basket (lot 93) which has been published both in the George Wharton James and Otis Tufton Mason reports on Indian Basketry, and a finely carved eastern woodlands gunstock club (lot 481). For Western art lovers, two important 1893 Sharp/Hauser Western Photograph Albums surfaced showing images which Hauser and Sharp used to execute some of their paintings.

In addition there is Southwest textiles, pottery, basketry and jewelry; beadwork from the Plains and Northeast; Eskimo bone and ivory carvings and tools, plus Arctic dolls; baskets from the Aleutian Islands, Northwest Coast and California; Northeast bark containers and quillwork, plus burl bowls and ladles, and much more
