This is a collection of sixty pieces of printed documentation on the work of the pioneering late Contemporary Native American artist Fritz Scholder. It consists of two paperbound books (the 1972 Smithsonian monograph "Indians" and the 1975 Northland Press survey of Scholder's own photographs, "Indian Kitsch: The Use and Misuse of Indian Images"), fourteen exhibition catalogues issued between 1972 and 1991, fourteen slender print prospectuses (including Tamarind's "Indians Forever" and Mourlot's "Indian in Paris" which include loose miniature reproductions) and gallery exhibition brochures from 1971 and 1987, twenty-three larger folded exhibition announcements from 1976 to 1992, six postcard announcements, and a 1976 issue of 3M's "Where: A Travelaide Publication" for Phoenix that features the painting "Sitting Indian" on the front cover. "Controversial and prolific, Fritz Scholder (1937-2005) embraced paradox. An enrolled member of the Luiseno tribe, he often said he was not Indian. Scholder's works were immediately recognized for their insight and powerful commentary on publicly held stereotypes of Native Americans and propelled Scholder into a position of prominence as an artist. His revolutionary paintings broke away from stereotypical roles and forever changed the concept of "Indian artist". This group of documentary materials gives great insight to Scholder's work and exhibition activities of the seventies and eighties - including a wealth of items from the artist's primary galleries of the period including Elaine Horwitch Galleries, Marilyn Butler Fine Art, Jack O' Grady Galleries, Tally Richards, Gallery 10, Louis Newman, and Gerald Peters. Overall these pieces are in at least Very Good Minus condition, though many of the announcement were mailed and bear the recipients' addresses and postal indicia.
