Navajo blankets draw collectors from Hearst to Warhol
A survey of Navajo blankets shows collectors ranging from William Randolph Hearst to Georgia O'Keeffe embracing the textiles for display and personal use. Notable figures include Samuel Pryor Reed and Anthony Berlant, who popularize and trade these pieces with artists like Warhol and Judd. The revival links 19th century weavings to midcentury contemporary art, with exhibitions from Los Angeles to Rice University and a Brooklyn Museum show that boosted catalog demand.
