History

Established in 1977.

Years ago, Martha Struever took her first trip to the Southwest; it was then that her passion for American Indian art was born. Since opening her first Native Indian art gallery in Chicago 34 years ago, she has focused on one primary goal — to bring the best Southwestern American Indian art to collectors everywhere. Martha Struever is now one of the longest-​standing American Indian art dealers in the world. With a background in fashion, Martha has a keen eye for great design and she merges that with a strong sense of scholarship. She’s built lasting relationships with magnificent American Indian artists, and She’s acquired some of their finest works. Operating from Santa Fe, New Mexico affords her close access to the center of the Native American art world. That coupled with her online art gallery, enables her to bring the very best American Indian jewelry and pottery to a much wider audience.
