Adolf Spohr
Born in Germany, 1889
Died in Wyoming, 1966
Adolf Spohr was renowned for his prodigious collection of Native American artifacts. During his lifetime it was considered one of the top three collections. Much of his collection is in the permanent holdings of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. An accomplished artist in his own right, his dedication to the preservation of Native American culture is what truly made him such a remarkable man. He came to America from Germany in 1913 and settled in Chicago where he often painted portraits of Plains Indians. Almost immediately he formed deep relationships with his subjects. Spohr began learning Native American traditions, customs, and languages. In 1930 he married and the couple moved to Cody, Wyoming. There he immersed himself in every aspect of Native American life earning respect and trust rarely extended to outsiders. Spohr served as a judge at All-American Indian Days in Sheridan, was adopted by the Blackfoot tribe, and made countless contributions to the preservation of Native American culture. Through his paintings of Native American life and his collection of artifacts he succeeded in sustaining the beauty of the culture for generations to come.
