Visite Guidée en français - The Art of Judith Lowry and the Lowry & Croul Collection of Native American Art

The Lowry & Croul Collection of Contemporary Native American Art

This special exhibition features highlights from the personal collection of Judith Lowry (Mountain Maidu/Pit River/Washoe), an accomplished Native American artist and enrolled member of the Pit River Tribe, who recently donated over 125 artworks to the Nevada Museum of Art.

Assembled over many decades by Lowry and her husband Brad Croul, the Lowry & Croul Collection of Contemporary Native American Art includes paintings by prominent Native American contemporary artists with a West Coast and Great Basin focus.

The collection contains works by some of the West Coast’s most noted Native American artists, including paintings by Harry Fonseca (Nisenan Maidu/Hawaiian/Portuguese), Frank LaPena (Nomptipon Wintu), and Frank Day (Konkow Maidu). Important and rare story paintings by Dalbert Castro (Maidu) are also included, along with works by Jean LaMarr (Northern Paiute/Pit River) and George Longfish (Seneca and Tuscarora).

An exceptional selection of photography by Lowry’s cousin Dugan Aguilar (Northern Paiute/Maidu/Pit River) is included, as well as many traditional beaded and woven works by Lorena Gorbet (Mountain Maidu), Shiwaya Peck (Maidu), and Tiffany Adams (Chemehuevi/Koyoomk’awi/Nisenan).

This exhibition is presented in conjunction with The Art of Judith Lowry.

A special hour-long tour will be conducted at the Nevada Museum of Art en français followed by an optional lunch at the museum's Café.
