On
July 18, the Russell Museum will open this wonderful exhibition of
beaded gauntlets, organized by the Georgia Museum of Art at the
University of Georgia, Athens. Real Western Wear is a
dazzling show that celebrates the unique meeting of cowboy and Indian
worlds, with over 70 pairs of beaded gauntlets (gloves). These works of
art display the great diversity of designs and technical virtuosity of
Plains, Plateau, and Great Basin Indian artists who produced these
beautiful objects from the 1890s through the 1940s. The Russell Museum
is the third venue for the exhibition, which opened at the Georgia
Museum of Art, then traveled to the National Cowboy and Western
Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. This colofrul exhibition will
complement the beaded gauntlets from Charlie Russell's own collection
of American Indian artifacts, which will be included in The Bison exhibition when it opens later this year.
