Mata Ortiz: Ceramics from the Collection of Norman Sherman and Virginia Chambers Sherman

Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
April 19, 2025–March 29, 2026

Created by contemporary artisans in the town of Mata Ortiz, Mexico, this style of pottery draws inspiration from traditional Casas Grandes and Paquimé ceramics that were rediscovered in the 1970s. This modern interpretation of a traditional style revitalized the economy of this small town and led to greater attention from the art world.
