The show (which closed on 23 January) and collectors' enthusiastic response to it are the latest signals that the market is finally catching up with a recent surge in curatorial interest. Jeffrey Gibson, a Cherokee-descended member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, will be the first Indigenous artist to represent the US with a solo show at this year's Venice Biennale.
"It's extraordinary what's happening, this tide," says James Trotta-Bono, a California-based dealer who co-curated New Terrains. "Institutions were very aware that the American art canon was fragmented at best in terms of its narrative, and they've been making a very concerted effort to increase the exposure and awareness of Native American artists, both historic and contemporary."
