7. Robert F. Nichols

Nichols, a former ranger at Mesa Verde National Park, opened his gallery 20 years ago to showcase some of the finest contemporary Indian potters of the Southwest. It's fascinating to see the results when modern artists twist the age-old pottery techniques. Here you will find the irreverent, meticulously crafted ceramic figures of Virgil Ortiz (Cochiti Pueblo) and his siblings, Les Namingha's (Hopi) abstract pots, Christine McHorse's (Navajo) stately vessels and Diego Romero's (Cochiti) bowls and pots painted with cartoons that satirize contemporary political issues. Nichols is a great resource for questions on Indian pottery, past or present.   (© 10Best)
