are numerous attribution errors in basket collecting books. Don't believe what
you read or see just because it is in print. Always get numerous corroborating
attributions and as always "Let the buyer beware" before you make any purchase.

Woven Worlds
by Lydia L. Wyckoff (Editor)
This substantial catalog accompanies an exhibition of the same name highlighting
over 250 indigenous North American baskets at the Philbrook Museum of Art in
Tulsa, OK. The text covers the Southeast, California, the Arctic and Sub-Arctic,
and the Eastern Woodlands, reflecting businessman Clark Field's travels in
search of "authentic specimens" (both practical and market-inspired fine art),
which are beautifully photographed here. A valuable resource for collectors of
historic American baskets.Search for
