Alexander Anthony: Owner of Adobe Gallery - Epi. 77, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Native arts expert and gallery owner Al Anthony takes an hour out
of his busy schedule to chat with his old friend Dr. Mark
Sublette in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We get an inside look into Al’s
days as a nuclear engineer for the USAF and how being stationed
in New Mexico led him to Wright’s Trading Post in Albuquerque
where he bought his first Maria Martinez bowl on layaway for two
hundred dollars. Al recounts weekend trips to the New Mexico
Pueblos and encounters with the most famous potters of our time,
eventually developing his collection into the longstanding Adobe
Gallery on Canyon Road. Along with dealing and collecting Native
American art, Al has published many books and even republished
historic catalogs such as the JB Moore Crystal Trading Post
catalog. All of this and more on this episode of The Art Dealer
Diaries.
