Tony Abeyta: Modernism in the Desert (Scottsdale Art Week 2025) - Epi. 339, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

This podcast is a little different because it was filmed on
location at Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week 2025. Tony Abeyta is a
famous painter, jeweler, and curator, and he assembled all of
these modernist voices together for the exhibit "Modernism in the
Desert." The artists include: Fritz Scholder, Charles Loloma,
Michael Kabotie, Lloyd Kiva New, Paolo Soleri, Ed Mell, and
more.

There's a group of individuals that all connect to the same time
frame of about 1950 to 1970 and they have relationships with
Arizona, whether they were born here or the worked here. Tony was
kind enough to walk us through the exhibit and speak on the
individual works.

You see, Tony is such a wealth of information when it comes to
art. The exhibit he put together took a lot of time and effort
and I'm not sure anything like this has ever been done before,
and I don't know if it'll ever be done again.
