Superlative Mata Ortiz
By Rebekah Powers | January 2023
The new pieces we just received from the artists at Mata Ortiz, a humble little village just over the New Mexico/Mexico border, will exceed your expectations. Each in its own way is a masterpiece.
The fine line work, the masterful carving, the indescribable designs and colors combine to astound. To read up on the history, discovery and technique of the people from Mata Ortiz, refer to our archived newsletters. It is a story of exquisite ceramic art lost and found. The story continues with the resilience, faith and talent of the people who have reformed history with their own hands.
Superlative is the only word to describe our latest acquisitions, because these specific pieces transcend even the extraordinary. Chimayo Trading is fortunate to host the latest selection and proud of our expanding partnership with the artists who create this work.
