2008 ATADA Members Gallery and Directory


The ATADA Members represent a Who’s Who of the American Indian and Tribal Art worlds. Listed in alphabetical order (by first member's surname) in this Directory, contact information, areas of specialization, and services available are posted. In a departure from past practice, each ATADA member has been provided space for a full-color, annotated image of some of their best available pieces. ATADA has vetted the images of all objects displayed here, while each member retains responsibility for authenticating and identifying their own objects. Each ATADA member has pledged to honor the guarantee of authenticity and condition published at www.ATADA.org/bylaws.html.

The juxtaposition of the large number of ATADA Dealers in these two closely-related tribal fields presents to art collectors the great opportunities for purchase of American Indian and Tribal art in North America. Members update inventory here on the first of each month. Just scroll down this page to see the finest American Indian and Tribal Art available today. If you are interested in purchasing something you see in this Directory, please contact the individual dealer or gallery directly. If you need assistance in finding a member near to you and/or who specializes in the art of interest to you, please send an email to Alice Kaufman, Alice@ATADA.org, detailing your request.
