Mark Winter: Navajo Weaving & Saltillo Serape Expert (Part 1) - Epi. 293, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Art Dealer Diaries Podcast

I did a podcast with Mark Winter a while back (Episodes 37 and 38). This was maybe 3 or 4 years ago, and I wanted to have Mark on again because we didn't get to talk about his vast knowledge of Saltillo Sarapes.
If you really want to immerse yourself in the depth of that subject, you have to go through Mark, because he is THE expert in the field. There are a few other experts of note, sure, but Mark is clearly one of the leading experts in the field.
So we had a wonderful talk. We went through the the ins and outs of Saltillo Serapes and Rio Grande blankets. It's more technical talk, but at the same time, it's the stories and how he got there and why he started collecting in the 1970s.
And it's a two parter since we had a lot to talk about. So this is part one of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast with Mark Winter.
