Jed Foutz, owner of Shiprock Santa Fe Gallery:  “Shiprock Trading Days”

Jed Foutz, the owner of Shiprock Santa Fe gallery, is a fifth-generation art dealer who was raised on the Navajo reservation.  He spent many days at the trading post with his father, buying and selling handmade goods.  Decades later, Foutz says his deep-rooted love for collecting Native American art and textiles is still ablaze.  “To be honest,” he says, “I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do”.

After growing up on the reservation, he went on to work for several fashion houses in New York City which has given him a much broader eye and understanding of the world.

His gallery is known for showcasing beautiful traditional Native American art, from jewelry to weavings, alongside Midcentury Modern furniture.  “Navajo weavers and Native American artists have created the foundations of modern art movements” and it is “important to show how these two styles can complement each other in a contemporary setting”.
