Cherokee Basketry: Woven Culture

by Dale L. Couch

This catalogue accompanies the exhibition of the same name, on view at the Georgia Museum of Art from January 23 through April 17, 2016, and organized by co-curators Dale L. Couch, Mary C. Scales English, and Janice Simon. All 45 objects in the exhibition (mostly baskets but also a scarf designed by Georgian Frankie Welch that pictures the Cherokee syllabary and a slat-back chair with a woven seat) are illustrated in full color. Essays by Couch, Scales English, Simon and contributor Joseph Litts flesh out different aspects of these baskets, adding anthropological and collecting insights.
