1990 Native American Redlake Chippewa Stone Sculpture ''Shawl Dancer'' by Gorgon Van Wert, measures 14''H, signed by artist and on wooden base, made of New Mexico Gray Alabaster, comes with COA, FYI: ''Synthesizing over 40 years of experience, centuries of Ojibwe art traditions and modern sculpting techniques, Gordon Van Wert is a recognized master in his field. A former student of Allan Houser at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, Van Wert has risen to his own notoriety and accolades. His Ojibwe art sculptures are much sought after pieces. Many of them are held in museums and the private collections of notable collectors including Robert Redford, Kurt Russel and Ted Danson. Beginning in the 1970's, Van Wert has sculpted hundreds of pieces over the years, developing his technique and style. Despite a stroke in the early 2000's, Van Wert continues to create exemplary pieces of Ojibwe art. After the stroke he used his sculpting as therapy, adapting his techniques to include a pneumatic chisel and learning to be mildly ambidextrous.''
