Recent Exhibtions

While Allan Houser passed into the spirit world in 1994, his work lives on. His role as the first and most influential of all Native American sculptors was highligthed in a  1998 White House House exhibition, and his work has been paired with that of Henry Moore in subsequent exhitions in Florida and California.  In 2002 he was the featured artist of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City with 19 of his monumental works displayed throughout the city and Olympic venues. In September of 2004 the Smithsonian honored him with a retrospective featured as an innaugural exhibition of the National Museum of the American Indian.  Major museum exhibtions have been mounted in recent years including not only his sculputral works, but also broad-ranging surveys of his drawings and paintings.  These have included a solo exhibtion in 2006 at the Naples, Florida Museum of Art, 2007 and 2009 exhibtions at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, a 2008 exhibtion at the Grounds For Sculputre near Princeton, New Jersey, a 2008 -2010 exhibtion staged at the Oklahoma History Museum then moved to the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A major outdoor exhibtion was displayed at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix through May 2010.  Opening May 1, 2011 and continuing through October 16,2011, twenty-five monumental works will be featured at the Denver Botancial Gardens.
