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.
