Holt, Lisa & Harlan Reano – Large Jar with Corn Wild Spinach and Sun Geometric Designs (2009) Ribbon
11"w x 9.5"h
$ 3,400.00
This is a classic large jar by Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano. They make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the pottery and it is painted by Harlan. This jar has a round shoulder and a short neck. The jar has a corn plant on one side. Surrounding it are geometric patterns that have an “op-art” style. Harlan would often take traditional Santo Domingo Pueblo-style designs and revise them into modernist compositions. The jar is painted with wild spinach (black) on a white clay background. The jar was traditionally fired outdoors. It is signed on the bottom, “Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano”. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. It has a second place ribbon from the 2009 Gallup Ceremonials. Interestingly, I judged their pottery the first year they entered the Santa Fe Indian Market, and it has been exciting to watch them evolve in shapes and designs over the years.
