Just relaying the highlights of an article in this mornings paper. The
SWAIA Art show and sale in Santa Fe NM usa this weekend
showed an increase of attendees and monies spent. 665 artists
displayed wares on the plaza, an estimated 100,000 people attended
and spent an estimated $100,000,000 (yes, one hundred million
bucks).
Best of show was a 19" wide pot, brick red with stylized white
serpent carved into the pot all around.
The pot was purchased by a collector for full asking price (not
disclosed). The pot was made by Lu Ann Tafoya, daughter of
renound potter Margret Tafoya.
